Critics Consensus

A star-studded turkey, Movie 43 is loaded with gleefully offensive and often scatological gags, but it's largely bereft of laughs.

Francesca Steele

Independent (UK)

This is a film so utterly devoid of laughs that it makes one wonder whether Hollywood stars really are feeling the pinch too.

There is not a single redeeming quality to this absurdly inane film.

Rated: F

Chicago Reader

Despite all the gross-out humor, the most offensive thing about this is the lazy filmmaking; every shot feels like a first take, and the haphazard editing precludes any comic timing.

By the end you can't entirely be sure whether you have watched a film or participated in a eulogy for the careers of its participants.

Midwest Film Journal

There is even money on a man with a gun just outside the frame at any given moment here ... except in "Happy Birthday," where Gerard Butler looks legitimately elated and excited to portray a pair of foul-mouthed, genital-mutilating leprechauns.

Rated: 2/5

Okay, ANY user reviewer going into this thinking they're reviewing high art is delusional. If you press "Play" knowing it's writers, actors, and directors letting off steam by PLAYING on-camera, you will be highly entertained by this irreverent and delightfully unhinged collection of short films. We demand so much of them that I was so happy to watch them mess around with some of the worst ideas ever conceived (which, unironically, was the entire point). For the pearl-clutchers screeching about the menstruation segment? IT WAS WRITTEN BY A WOMAN, and it was to demonstrate the general helplessness of men to a totally natural function. These actors clearly had a great time making this film. Give it a watch. Maybe you'll regret it, maybe you won't. If you're squeamish, it's not for you. If you hate laughing, it's not for you. But if you enjoy film, the absurdity of life, and poking fun at Hollywood tropes and traditions? You'll have a blast.

This is so so Good. Great acting, with funny topics, and out of the box stories. It's like Wild Tales (Argentinian Movie), but more dumb, you can define of a collection of family guy scenes. I love so much Bridesmaid, The Heat, Bruno, if you liked this movies "Movie 43" is for you. And I love love Anna Faris. I don't know how I never heard about this movie before, thanks to tik tok that brought me here in 2025.

This movie was over the top and raunchy. It’s really going to depend on your sense of humour but I had a lot of fun with a few of the sketches. My favourite was definitely the homeschool sketch. If you don’t like over the top sketch comedy this movie isn’t for you. If you have an open sense of humour you’re going to love this flick.

If you watch one skit a week they are funny. I'm surprised that individual skits haven't gone viral? It is so stair-studded that it is shocking to see Richard Gere, Halle Berry, Kate Winslet and so many other "A Lister" doing scenes that you can't imagine how the producers got them to do this. If you watch two or three skits in a row it just becomes too much. I loved watching Amazon Women on the Mon and Kentucky Fired Move when I was growing up, so maybe I'm biased.

Whoever posted a negative review must be depressed or dumb because this is the most intelligent funny laugh out loud movie I’ve watched in my life. This will stay in my top 10 movies for life. Edgy, complex, out of the box, contemporary, no holds barred gun to your head humour. Love love love it and if you don’t like it, you’re just an idiot and it is totally okay
