Stephen Holden New York Times 03/19/2015
Mr. Jacobs and Mr. Grodsky have an extraordinary ear for the rhythms and nuances of everyday speech, as voices overlap, conversations take random directions, and casual remarks carry loaded subtexts. Go to Full Review

2/5
"Growing Up and Other Lies" tells you right in the title it's not going to take maturing seriously, so it's not a surprise that the movie is unfocused and ineffective. Go to Full Review

Cenac gives the most entertaining performance, but at the expense of making Gunderson so irredeemably obnoxious that it's impossible to believe he'd have any friends. Go to Full Review
John Noonan FILMINK (Australia) 09/16/2015
This is a very by the numbers film that, like its leads, seems to wander aimlessly under the pretence of getting somewhere. Go to Full Review
S. Jhoanna Robledo Common Sense Media 03/27/2015
2/5
Clever set up, but mature friendship comedy is formulaic. Go to Full Review

Who wants to watch four, obnoxious, testosterone-fueled slackers vent their vile along a gauntlet of unsuspecting victims? Go to Full Review

Daniel H 02/03/2024 OMG. The morons involved with this should be collected up and put in a concentration camp where they learn fundamentally why people want to watch a movie. The first being we want to watch some fun characters; and not hate absolutely everyone on screen and absolutely everything they say. (based on 10 minutes viewing time). Avoid at all cost. See more bruno b 06/04/2018 Reviews are tearing it apart, but I liked it man. It is an intelligent comedy with good insights. Not brilliant, but good to watch in a rainnig afternoon See more 01/02/2017 i just wasted an hour half watching adam brody hang out with a bunch of dicks. See more 12/10/2016 good little indy I liked the story here See more 12/25/2015 Not even half way through this unpolished turd of a movie and I should have given up on it a long time ago, now I'm just sticking it out as an exercise in withstanding terribleness. This movie is a big LED billboard of everything is terrible about the generation of participation trophy winners - terrible dialog meets terrible acting meets unoriginal script. It wants to be Clerks but it's nothing, it makes me pray that I will never have to see this cast again. See more 05/03/2015 Loose & disjointed between scenes, looks like a sit-com instead.
