Critics Consensus

Very little is off-limits in Mother Schmuckers' gleefully offensive pursuit of provocation -- unfortunately, it often mistakes shock value for genuine laughs.

Simon Abrams

RogerEbert.com

Co-writer/co-director duo Harpo and Lenny Guits apparent disregard for their viewers comfort can sometimes be quite funny, depending on your tolerance for messy, meandering absurdist comedy.

Rated: 2.5/4

I would say words fail me, but they don’t. It’s just that most of them are unprintable.

Variety

The Guits' provocation is about as amiable as something so abjectly appalling can be, though it's perhaps a few jaw-dropping shocks (or a few uproarious belly-laughs) short of the cult status it seeks.

Ally Ham

Video Librarian Magazine

Where tonally-similar films succeed in subtle comedic presentation, Mother Schmuckers stares its viewers in the face as it drops over-the-top and obscene jokes, waiting for the laughs that will never come.

Filmmaker Magazine

Nobody’s idea of essential, it’s edited with ruthless precision, better-crafted than most of the Sundance films I’ve seen so far and, for all its presumptive shock factor, has good energy...

About Boulder

The new Belgian comedy Mother Schmuckers wants to be a trashterpiece like Pink Flamingoes. It likely wont be since its not really rebelling against anything.
