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

Caroline H Patty Guggenheim delivers the most incredible performance in this dark comedy. Highly recommend! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/24/25 Full Review Gary C Saw this over the weekend after a friend of a friend invited me to a screening here in LA. I didn't know what to expect and hadn't even seen a trailer. Honestly glad I went in blind because not knowing anything made this a real delight to watch. I kept trying to guess what would happen next and was wrong every time except once. There were some genuine laughs, and it definitely leans weird and awkward but then I was literally shocked a few times. This was like if Michael Scott and Dwight Schrute were cranked up on steroids after having a really hard day at work. I had a good time. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/24/25 Full Review Jack J A lot of laughs and surprises; I'm still catching my breath and can't wait until I find out what happens in a sequel. I learned something new about yellow ladybugs and was amazed that you were able to film one without CGI. So much fun! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/24/25 Full Review Chuck W What a great way to spend an evening! The script was funny and unpredictable. The acting and directing were excellent. The cast was perfect. Not much out there like it right now. A nice relief from our crazy world! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/23/25 Full Review Naomi G I had no idea what to expect... But it was super fun, funny, and incredibly well done! Ed Begley Jr is hilarious always, and Patty Guggenheim is an Angie Tribeca 2.0. I found the music to be especially effective. Also great writing and direction, with a fun, improvised feel. Ultimately it looked much more expensive than it no doubt was. Bravo to the filmmakers! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/23/25 Full Review Karl S One of the most enjoyable films I've seen this year, Don't Tell Larry is a brilliant character-driven comedy with a ridiculous joke density that left me laughing, cringing, and audibly telling the characters what not to do. And anytime I'm verbalizing the experience WHILE watching a film - I know it's a damn good time. As for the characters and performances - they were also spot on, accentuated with a sharp edit, score and sound design that elevated the humor but never took away from the story. Basically: if you need something to brighten your day, or want to laugh for 90 minutes straight just because, this is the movie for you. Just Don't Tell Larry.
