Dennis Harvey Variety "Lazy Susan" aims hazily between the sad-sack valentine likes of "Muriel's Wedding" and something more satirically misanthropic, missing a target it never quite commits to in the first place. Apr 4, 2020 Full Review Michael Rechtshaffen Los Angeles Times [W]hile the Nick Peet-directed film has its cheerfully outrageous moments... even mild shock value in the time of an epidemic might not be just what the doctor ordered. Apr 4, 2020 Full Review Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times Instead of being condescending about the Wisconsin characters and their mediocre lives, the comedy shows fondness for them. Rated: 3/4 Apr 4, 2020 Full Review Sandie Angulo Chen Common Sense Media Talented cast can't save underwhelming comedy. Rated: 1/5 Jun 4, 2020 Full Review Dominic Griffin Spectrum Culture But the problem is without that kind of arc, the audience is being asked to watch an insufferably selfish person be irritating for an hour and a half with little to no dramatic progression or catharsis. Rated: 1/5 Apr 7, 2020 Full Review Todd Jorgenson Cinemalogue ... plays like a failed sitcom pilot, differentiated by nonchalant acceptance of Susan's sexuality. That's nice, yet the film isn't nearly funny or clever enough to be considered progressive. Apr 3, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

Priscila L It felt like I was watching a short series, not a movie, and I really enjoyed it. It’s silly and funny. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/03/25 Full Review Anthony W It's stupid funny. Yes, the charter is an obvious sad sack, but the underlining message is real. people need to learn to love their self before they can love anyone else. Sean Hays is actually good in my opinion, the rest of the cast is definitely better than the plot. A little weak. BUT, I'd recommend this film to anyone who has ever been down on themselves. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/26/25 Full Review Julian S LAZY SUSAN balances offbeat humor and heartfelt moments beautifully, but it feels like it would thrive as a TV series, offering even more room for its weirdness to shine. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/03/25 Full Review meredith w A quirky little indie movie that has its funny moments. Sean Hayes stars as the lead character, Susan, an unmotivated, lazy and self-centred oddball after a while you kind of forget about the male playing a female thing, which I guess in the point. There is not much of a narrative as we follow along Susan's story and character growth but it is an easy enough ride. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review jm m Loved Sean Hayes as this character and the cast was really great. Guy who played the brother was such a good match. Any movie with both Margo Martindale and Allison Janney already is ahead of the curve. BUT . . . the pacing of this movie was excruciating, and some of the funny parts were played so deadpan that they ended up more uncomfortable than funny. The ketchup bit will stick with me for a long time, though - lol. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member I truly enjoyed Sean Hayes play Susan. It was an exaggerated mood of Jack Macfarland. Such a good spoof to watch. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Read all reviews
