What to Know

Critics Consensus

An awkward blend of kid-friendly premise and thoroughly adult humor, Coffee & Kareem proves a distinctly unarresting odd couple comedy.

A profoundly irritating, cacophonous mess. Go to Full Review
Steve Pond TheWrap 04/13/2020
Things quickly escalate into chaos and stay there, but they do so in ways that are not quite funny enough to make you forget the implausibilities or the way serious stuff is played for bad jokes. Go to Full Review

Its uneven start isn't enough to make it a total miss. Go to Full Review

Dowse’s film has a degree in crass, specializing in the cringe-worthy. Go to Full Review

The brand of humour relies on shock value, but every now and then it will hit you with something clever that comes along like a slice of pizza in the middle of a low carb diet. Go to Full Review
Nick Levine NME (New Musical Express) 05/11/2021
2/5
Coffee & Kareem's predictable twists involving bent cops and gangsters who aren't as tough as they seem are reasonably entertaining, but it's difficult to shake the suspicion that this film is fundamentally misjudged. Go to Full Review

See more ARNI S Nov 14 What an awful movie with such filth coming from the mouth of a child. This movie didn't even deserve a half star, it deserved minus five stars. What type of parents allow a child to make a movie like this. Perfect example of degrade in culture and society. Half hour was enough for my spouse and I to turn it off. This is a low intelligence low class movie and the problem with society now day's... See more Anthony R Jun 19 If you are looking for a very funny movie with action this is a must watch on Netflix. And I would love to see a sequel there is many ways they could go with the sequel. See more robert w Jun 7 This is absolutely the most disgusting movie I've seen in a long time why are you guys glorifying a 12-year-old child talking like that hands down one of the worst movies I've ever seen I couldn't even finish it so bad that I wanted to go everywhere and review it it was so bad See more Michael A Jan 21 It was hard for me to find the stars at first but I think I found the right score. The humor is there but it shows up a little later in the movie, then it rolls. There are some hilarious scenes if you give the movie enough time to get past a really mouthy kid. This kid was too much for me at first but with Ed Helms and Betty Gilpin in the movie, I gave it an honest chance that paid off. And I mean it. When the humor kicks in, it stays on that level. Don't miss out on this one just because a lot of other reviews are calling it a hot mess. See more @GAVINSISEMORE Jan 21 Very funny film didn't much care for the action and protagonist but a good comedy undoubtedly. See more Read all reviews
