Critics Consensus

Despite a game cast led by an enjoyably over the top Arnold Schwarzenegger, Killing Gunther feels like a sketch overstretched to feature length.

We couldn't make it past the 45 minute mark, which was a battle in itself. The plot is horribly thin with very obvious way markers. Maybe I just don't understand the Mockumentary genre.

First of all, if you watch, hang on for the last moment of the post-credit hilarity. Second, despite its low budget and uneven production, I enjoyed it. HOWEVER, read the reviews and understand that this is high camp, which, understandably, is not for everyone.

grotesque, sometimes funny but very second-rate in script and direction. very poor acting performance by almost everyone involved.

So you read the reviews here and think, well how bad can it be? Much much worse than you can possibly imagine! This is what you get when you give a big ego to much rope to hang himself with. Never found Taran Killam particularly funny, and this just proves he really isn't. A cheap Will Ferrel wannabe clone with no particular talent except enough ego to want this. Arnold shows up about an hour late, despite being funny, it really doesn't matter because the previous hour was so bad. Just imagine a really bad SNL sketch, only 90 minutes of unfunny first draft BS.

Schwarzenegger has a great time hamming it up, and we have almost as much fun watching him have fun.

Rated: 3/4

Hollywood Reporter

More than anything, Killing Gunther demonstrates that Christopher Guest has a lot to atone for with his pioneering of the mockumentary, which has become the lazy, go-to style for low-budget comedies.

All anybody's expecting is rapid-fire absurdities and Three Stooges violence, which Killam serves up aplenty.

Rated: B-

Brian Costello

Common Sense Media

It's almost impressive how a movie that's supposed to be a comedy, one directed, written, and acted by comedic performers, fails to generate a single moment of humor.

Rated: 1/5

Schwarzenegger's presence should have given for an infinitely more solid parody. [Full Review in Spanish]

Caution Spoilers

A cautionary tale about the modern assumption one can achieve fame through a single act rather than putting the work in, the amiable if messy Killing Gunther is saved by Schwarzenegger's exuberant portrayal of the World's Top Assassin (yes, another one!)

Rated: 3/5
