Critics Consensus

Campy and proudly absurd, I'm So Excited! Pedro Almodóvar's return to light comedy isn't quite the successful homecoming that filmgoers might wish for.

I'm So Excited! is a bit repetitive, but it's unashamedly frivolous and often very funny.

It's thin, banal, boring, unwitty and, if satirical, then poorly satirical, and poorly satire is no good to anyone.

A very regressive transition for this Oscar-winning filmmaker.

3.5/5

It may not be artistically stylish to accommodate fans of Almodóvar's more acclaimed films, but the amoral characters and the quick-witted dialogue are enough to shock and entertain.

A bawdy, trifling, absurd breath of fresh air that sees the auteur return to zany high camp territory.

It's got a few too many pointless digressions that keep the film from being as enjoyable as I hoped, but Almodovar's intentions were clearly to make nothing more than a goofy comedy and I suppose on that level it works. The sequence that no doubt inspired the title is ridiculous in all the right ways.
