Randy Myers San Jose Mercury News A snappy indie comedy that has just enough cringey laughs to recommend it. Rated: 2.5/4 Jun 20, 2025 Full Review Daniel M. Kimmel North Shore Movies DON’T TELL LARRY is a dark office comedy. Its farcical nature allows you to go with the flow as the situation gets increasingly out of hand. This should hit home for anyone who was ever passed over for a promotion. Rated: 2.5/5 Jun 21, 2025 Full Review Mark Dujsik Mark Reviews Movies A little Larry goes a long, long way, and there's a lot of the guy here. Rated: 2/4 Jun 20, 2025 Full Review Luna Guthrie Collider It has its moments and is saved by good performances from side characters like Begley, Jr., and Dot-Marie Jones. But for the most part, Don't Tell Larry is sluggish, unoriginal, and kind of annoying to watch. Rated: 5/10 Jun 19, 2025 Full Review Josh Bell Crooked Marquee It's just gross and irritating, much like Larry himself. Rated: C Jun 17, 2025 Full Review Laura Clifford Reeling Reviews features about twenty misses for every joke that lands. That may be generous. Rated: D Jun 17, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews

kpictures B This film is so much fun, and awesomely creepy, I watched it twice. Don’t Tell Larry, written and directed by Greg Porper and John Schimke, is a hilarious ride that’s also surprisingly tense. Each scene pops because it’s built on constant “but” and “therefore” moments, keeping the story moving and, at times, pushing me to the edge of my seat. If you’re interested in screenwriting, study this film. It’s not just the witty dialogue or the well-drawn characters, it’s the constant setups, payoffs, and unexpected twists that make it work so well. Something is always happening that shifts the stakes, and that’s brilliant. The cast is spot-on. Ed Begley Jr. is a delightfully clueless CEO whose delivery makes him a lovable idiot. Kiel Kennedy as the creepy Larry is an unhinged maniac, his smile alone is unsettling, adding a psychological thriller edge to the comedy. Patty Guggenheim as Susan and Kenneth Mosley as Patrick shine as coworkers who keep landing in the most absurd, hilarious situations. With a sharp script and a cast that fully commits, Don’t Tell Larry is a must-see. It’s polished, fast-paced, and endlessly entertaining. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 08/12/25 Full Review Andy M. Fun movie! Several LOL moments. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/08/25 Full Review Terry H Clever and kinda goofy how it bumps around different genres. In general i had a couple solid lol moments, and i thought it was pretty cool how unique it is. It’s kinda its own thing Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/08/25 Full Review Jody L Great writing and storyline! Lots of laughs!! Perfect movie for a good night in! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 08/05/25 Full Review Tina D. We tried to watch this movie based on positive reviews. Simply put, it was unwatchable. Rarely do we turn off a movie half way through, but that’s exactly what we did with this one. Can’t believe so many positive reviews. It is so amateurish and forced, and the writing is beyond bad. Do yourself a favor and remove this from your watch list. Believe me, this is 2 hours you can put to better use. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 08/05/25 Full Review Alex F Don’t Tell Larry is a clever, fast-paced comedy that's full of charm. A definite crowd-pleaser!
