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

Well it's "unique", absurd and crazy. I admire it for the ideas they came up with. No idea how they convinced the A-list actors to participate in THIS!?!? But hey, different strokes for different oaks huh?, not my cup of tea though ...

It was kind of fun and worth watching once. All it is is a compilation of comedy skits with some A-list actors. It’s sort of like SNL but more wild and with some higher profile actors. Some skits hit more than others but in all I had fun.

I don't understand why so many people dislike this film. Sure there are some skits that are not funny or really bad, but if you go in with the mentality that this is a compilation of different skits and you might not like them all it is worth getting to the really good ones. There are many that are really funny, my favorite was homeschooled, a little disturbing but really funny. Give it a chance and if you start to not like one move to the next one. It is worth watching.

I loved it - how have I never seen this film? And why all the low reviews? It's like a collection of SNL shorts that were too off-the-wall for TV. I keep thinking about Emma Stone and Kieran Culkin's repartee in the grocery store. The sad face of a young Jermey Allen White being home schooled. Hugh Jackman's neck. Whatever acquired taste this 5% on RT film humor is... it's definitely my taste.

just when you think it can’t possibly get any worse another agonizing scene plays on screen.

One of the funniest movies I’ve ever watched! Watched it about 8 times so far since I first saw it 2 years ago. You have to really take it as a joke, then movie makes sense and is hilarious.
