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.

Read Critics Reviews

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

Ty Burr's Watch List (Substack)

There is nothing that either Annette Bening or Bryan Cranston can do that is not worth looking at.

Claudia Puig

FilmWeek (LAist)

A tidy, light, and pretty toothless story that feels like a sitcom.

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.

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

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.

Rated: 2.5/5

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom

Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars

Carlos I

A delightful, feel-good film based on a remarkable true story, Jerry & Marge Go Large is a charming tale buoyed by the stellar performances of Bryan Cranston and Annette Bening. While their on-screen chemistry is undeniable and the premise inherently engaging, the movie ultimately adheres to a predictable, standard formula, never quite elevating itself beyond a pleasant, albeit unmemorable, piece of cinematic comfort food.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

JERRY & MARGE GO LARGE crafts a charming and understated dramedy from its quirky fact-based story about a very unlikely modern day Robin Hood. The film employs some expected formulaic moves, but always with a light touch, turning what might be the world's most boring caper into an entertaining, uplifting, and even inspiring tale of mild-mannered virtue.
