Critics Consensus

Disparate parts and desperate measures spell defeat for Ethan Coen this time around in a romp that tries to cast a wide net but will ultimately leave audiences saying, Honey Don't.

Audience Says

The visually striking and daring cast earns Honey, Don’t! a few watchability points -- even if it’s buried in a messy heap of stylish violence.

Lightweight and forgettable.

Kermode and Mayo's Take (YouTube)

One of those movies, like Super Bad, in which the title reviews the film.

Empire Magazine

There are colourful characters and cool moments to keep you entertained on the road to nowhere, but they can’t disguise the fact that this is a shaggy-dog story with no real point.

Rated: 2/5

That Shelf

Much like my qualm with Drive-Away Dolls, large sections of [Honey Don't!] just aren’t funny. The script is a loosely tied ball of yarn.

This, presumably, is Coen and Cooke’s idea of a B-movie, but it’s too slick and self-aware to be an authentic B, and too devoid of drama.

Clash Magazine

The type of Noir tale that would have been commonplace when The Coens made their name in the ‘90s, Honey Don’t! doesn’t capture the old Coens magic but creates enough sizzle to please fans of indie weirdness.

Rated: 7/10

I just liked that the story was different and off the beaten path on dark humor and comedy.

Mr. Hollywood

Pointless. Seems like Coen instead of The Coen Brothers cant make a good movie alone. Back to back misfires. Not sure if its his fault or Tricia Cooke (his wife who wrote his last movie as well that wasnt good Drive Away Dolls) but its a definite skip. He needs to stop working with your wife and go back to making movies with his brother!

It was truly awful. I wanted to like it. I like most of the cast. But it was a mess. I cannot recommend you spending time or money on this.
