Critics Consensus

Largely witless and disappointingly dull, Girl Most Likely strands the gifted Kristen Wiig in a blandly hollow foray into scattershot sitcom territory.

Roxana Hadadi

Punch Drunk Critics

Even great performances can't completely overshadow the film's formulaic nature.

Rated: 3/5

Grantland

Berman and Pulcini -- American Splendor, The Nanny Diaries -- found a tone somewhere between tragedy and nonsense.

Liam Lacey

Globe and Mail

There are moments to make you honestly wish it were a better movie, and that the semi-autobiographical screenplay by Michelle Morgan didn't feel so much like a first draft.

Rated: 2/4

Gone With The Twins

The humor is bleak and dejecting, yet funny in a darkly quirky way.

Rated: 6/10

CineVue

Falls flat on almost all counts, its one saving grace being Wiig herself -- an actress who appreciates the beauty of subtlety, and just about saves her latest movie from complete disaster.

Rated: 2/5

Deseret News (Salt Lake City)

It's a balance that mostly works, though a final twist at the end introduces an odd tension that, while wacky, makes the film's climax feel somewhat uneven.

Not sure why all the hate for this movie, it's funny & cute. I liked it from start to finish & definitely has a lot of interesting side plots & stories going on throughout. Quirky is a good way to describe the main character, but the whole cast is a little out there, gives it all the more charm.

Tries to be a quirky comedy but there's little comedy especially from the lead, you'd think she never been in SNL. Another forgettable 21st century comedy that tries to appeal to all

Ok so the plot was a little thin but the main characters were endearing, quirky and overall likeable. The casting was superb. This movie had some good laughs as well as some sly humor. Anyone who has ever spent time at the Jersey Shore should enjoy this movie.

Girl Most Likely's biggest problem is that it is boring and the characters (beside from Imogene, just about) are not built well enough for you to sympathize with, root for, or want to fail. As I was watching, I kind of just didn't care about the other characters. However, the worldbuilding in the movie was alright. The main house was fleshed out, and so was the town outside of the big city. And I do have to say, as well, that I enjoyed the subtly of Imogene's development as she scrambles through all the new horridities popping into her life. This is not something that everyone particularly enjoys, though, so I get how most people didn't enjoy it. There's no problem with the actors, I just think that if they were going to market this as a comedy, to make the jokes... well, funnier. So that's it. Overall, it was boring. Plus half a star for Darren Criss as a backstreet boy.
