9/10
In the end, Nuked is less about survival and more about self-delusion. Go to Full Review
Tara McNamara Common Sense Media Jul 22
This silly comedy might amuse adults on a "Netflix and chill"-type night, but it's not likely that teens will gain much from watching. Go to Full Review

Perhaps the weed crowd will get more out of this one than I ultimately did, but when I’m not laughing at a movie that kept daring me to for 80 minutes, there’s a problem. Go to Full Review

At 86 minutes, it’s strangely in no rush to get where it’s going. Go to Full Review

Belongs to the genre known as the A-holes Invited To A Party That Goes Wrong where we wish the countdown to nuclear annihilation moved exponentially like in The Manhattan Project so we would have an excuse to leave. Go to Full Review
Marya E. Gates Cool People Have Feelings, Too. (Substack) Jul 11
Written and directed by Deena Kashper, the THC-laced comedy Nuked is one of those films where you are either on its frenzied wavelength or you are not. Unfortunately, I was not. Although it did have one performance that transcended its try-hard tone. Go to Full Review

Kyle M 5d Monty Python’s "Dr. Strangelove" shows evident comedic strain subtly projecting monetary participation requiring the viewer to be in the similar haze, while a clearer intellectual mind finds this tediously unfunny besides within the span of 5 minutes towards one hilarious line, leaving the rest insubstantially lifeless and already impatiently characterizing the missile to show up. (D) See more L J @Cracky Dec 15 Sometimes it is entertaining and the dialogue is even poignant, while at others it is annoying. Seems to drag on a bit too long meanderingly. See more TheMovieSearch R @TheMovieSearch Dec 1 Nuked, a 2025 release, attempts to blend comedy with a disaster scenario, centering on a missile attack on the United States. Unfortunately, the film largely misses its mark, failing to balance humor with narrative tension or meaningful character development. The premise holds potential, but the execution feels flat and underwhelming. The cast is made up primarily of unknown actors, which makes it difficult to connect with any of the characters. Their antics, intended to be funny and endearing, come across as hollow, and without strong performances to anchor the story, the humor often falls flat. The lack of audience investment in the characters significantly undermines the film’s comedic and dramatic beats. Direction-wise, the film struggles to give clarity to the story or the purpose of the characters. Most of the action is confined to a single location, with minimal variation, leaving the pacing stagnant. Scenes often feel repetitive, and the director never fully capitalizes on the chaotic premise, leaving the audience more confused than entertained. The screenplay is another weak point. Dialogue and plot development are shallow, with little cohesion between the comedic setups and the supposed disaster stakes. The story lacks memorable moments, failing to create either laughter or suspense in any meaningful way. Ultimately, Nuked comes across as a misfire. It is neither compelling as a comedy nor engaging as a disaster narrative. Its lack of focus, weak cast, and underdeveloped screenplay prevent it from being enjoyable, memorable, or worth revisiting. For viewers seeking humor or clever disaster satire, this film is unlikely to satisfy. Nuked remains a forgettable entry in 2025 cinema, and it’s difficult to recommend it to anyone.

See more ARNEZ C. @Arny6tearz Nov 21 It was fine for a one location setting I did laugh but idk it could have did more See more TJ D Nov 14 This is what indie comedy should be. Smart, specific, well paced and a dry sense of humor that disarms the more realistic, darker beats of the movie. See more Read all reviews
