What to Know

Critics Consensus

Instead of investing in its tremendously talented stars and outlandish fact-based story, Jerry & Marge Go Large gambles on a pile of clichés.

Stephen Romei The Australian There is a nice emotional undercurrent as Jerry comes to understand that while mathematics is easy, human beings are complex. This is a highly enjoyable, finely acted, big-hearted film that reminds us that people are not just numbers. Rated: 3.5/5 Jul 30, 2022 Full Review Ty Burr Ty Burr's Watch List (Substack) There is nothing that either Annette Bening or Bryan Cranston can do that is not worth looking at. Rated: 2/4 Jul 6, 2022 Full Review Claudia Puig FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) A tidy, light, and pretty toothless story that feels like a sitcom. Jun 21, 2022 Full Review Tina Kakadelis Beyond the Cinerama Dome Unlike other based-on-a-true-story movies, the value of Jerry and Marge Go Large is not in the oddity of its story. Instead, this film should have doubled down on the love and sense of community Jerry and Marge created. Jul 24, 2023 Full Review Pramit Chatterjee Digital Mafia Talkies If you are looking to have a fun time and intend to watch two boomers (metaphorically) beat the hell out of an over-smart zoomer, please watch Jerry and Marge Go Large. Rated: 4/5 Jul 20, 2023 Full Review M.N. Miller Ready Steady Cut Despite the joy of watching Bryan Cranston “breaking good,” Jerry & Marge Go Large falls apart under the weight of putting a premium on feel-good storytelling.

Avalon T What a great movie. Lately so many movies are so dark or supposedly comedies and are so disappointing with no humour. This is a refreshing change. It's a really feel-good movie. There is some very good unexpected humour and the storyline is great. This is a delightful movie with great acting. It's about time for a movie like this. Highly recommend- a lovely way to spend an evening. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/04/24 Full Review Noneya B A very nice story, a bit of a pallet cleanser. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 07/13/24 Full Review Dean Burrito O Feel good story about how a square dude becomes the coolest cat in town. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/02/24 Full Review Regal R 67/100 - i wanted to like this but there are too many glaring plot holes and continuity errors that break the 4th wall and ruin the movie. i wonder how much of it is based on the true story and how much is sensationalized for hollywood. its some comfort food if you can just turn your brain off and watch it but i dont think ill be rewatching this anytime soon Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/10/24 Full Review Manifest A Excellent feel good movie. Satisfying and pure entertainment. Without female nudity or violence which makes a nice change 👍🏻 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/29/24 Full Review Will E This was an enjoyable, character driven, and well acted movie. It did a good job at telling a simple story about a retired couple from a small town, while maintaining good pacing throughout. Would love to see more movies like this.
