2/4
The film never feels honestly menacing, or gritty enough to have actual tension. Go to Full Review
Michael Rechtshaffen Los Angeles Times 01/26/2017
A staged kidnapping isn't the only thing that goes from botched to worse where the tone-deaf black comedy-thriller "Get the Girl" is concerned. Go to Full Review
John Noonan FILMINK (Australia) 03/20/2017
Glossy, noisy and a little bit dull, Get the Girl is the kind of the film you'd thought they'd stopped making Go to Full Review
Craig D. Lindsey L.A. Weekly 02/03/2017
Get the Girl unfortunately gets crushed by its own, voluminous preposterousness. Go to Full Review

Daniel P 10/26/2024 Definitely not a mainstream movie, that being said Get The Girl is a fun ride, with a dark humor it made me laugh hard. Don't expect nothing serious from it. See more 06/09/2020 This was fun, well crafted movie! I don’t know why the ratings are so low. See more 05/15/2019 During my 44 years on this earth, I've never watched a movie as bad as this. This is easily, not even arguably, the worst movie ever made in the history of cinema. See more 03/05/2019 Dark comedy filled with odd (& stupid) characters involved in a fake hero setup that goes awry. If you only like mainstream movies; you should stay away from this. BUT, if you like odd flicks - check it out! See more 09/10/2017 Almost as bad as alone in the dark See more 08/02/2017 I rarely concern myself with the sexuality of characters in film, I think nine times out of ten a romance hinders more than it helps, but with Get the Girl I'd like to float you the idea of how drastically the script would be changed if the lead was gay. Keep everything else the same, but change is sexuality and you have (in my opinion) a much more enjoyable film. Obviously, that is not the case, so instead my takeaway from Get the Girl is two simple facts, the first was some new information, and the second was just confirming something I already knew: 1) There is a person on this Earth by the name of Jerry Purpdrank, and 2) Adi Shankar is a weird fuckin' dude.
