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.

The Spectator

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

Reel Talk Online

A very regressive transition for this Oscar-winning filmmaker.

Rated: D

Flick Feast

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.

Rated: 3.5/5

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.
