Critics Consensus

Neither funny enough to recommend as a black comedy nor unpredictable enough to work as a mystery, Maggie Moore(s) is less than the sum of its parts.

Barry Hertz

Globe and Mail

The film is an enjoyably slippery concoction that further proves Hamm has the leading-man chops that major studios so desperately need.

Noah Berlatsky

Chicago Reader

You can craft a bleak parable about human venality and cruelty or you can tell a heartwarming story about the miracle of human connection. But when you try to do both at once, it feels jarring.

Richard Roeper

Chicago Sun-Times

Maggie's crackling cast, including Tina Fey and Nick Mohammed, handles the clever dialogue with aplomb.

Rated: 3/4

Stuff.co.nz

Actor-turned-director John Slattery’s first film in a decade is a terrific Coen-esque caper filled with colourful characters, dark humour and delightful dialogue.

...a pretty-good endeavor that feels like it could (and should) be so much better.

Rated: 2.5/4

Stephen Applebaum

Radio Times

The talented cast suffers from underwritten characters that just about get by on charm, while a pervasive cartoonishness means nothing carries much weight and the film, while watchable, will likely be quickly forgotten.

Rated: 3/5

A loose slow burn that pays off at the end, redeeming satisfaction besides sporadic humor whilst rewarding those with likable deliverances and bringing down justice to those who don’t. (B)

I am giving this 5 stars for what it is in its genre. It had an engaging plot and mystery with some good chuckles, and the script was smart and well-paced. the mix of all the elements was pleasing. wish it didnt have to throw in random strip club scene. other than that, enjoyed the movie.

A murderer mystery cop story with a dry comedic and romantic touch. It almost feels like a Coen brothers movie. The juxtaposition of punchlines next to the murders comes across a bit unsettling. But that's also one of the messages brought up in the script so in a way it fits.

Witty, funny, not obvious with cliches. When is the last time that I launghed at a so-called comedy within the past ten years? Never. Ham was great. The other leads were not so good. At times the actors LOOKED like they were acting into a camera, rather than conversing with someone. Featuring a Budweiser or a Budweiser sign (or both) in practically every series or movie that has come out of Hollywood has become annoying and and it looks desprate.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

This is at least an entertaining film. However, it was described as a "comedy thriller" and I found zero comedy in the film despite Tina Fey and Jon Hamm in the leading roles. I wouldn't go out of my way to see it, but it was good enough to watch on TV for a night in.
