Nell Minow AWFJ.org While the story lines sometimes slip into the too-obvious or too-easy, the film has tons of verve and charm and terrific performances from an across-the-board outstanding cast... Oct 14, 2022 Full Review Susan Wloszczyna RogerEbert.com The film desperately tries to be wild and out of control, but it ends up as more of a slapdash portrait of cartoony desperation than any sort of realistic depiction of millennial angst when it comes to current-day female lifestyle choices. Rated: 2/4 Jun 1, 2018 Full Review Rick Bentley Tribune News Service [Theresa] Bennett's tale draws the viewer in because the characters are not stock players in a dark comedy but fully rounded participants. Rated: 2.5/4 Jun 1, 2018 Full Review Jennifer Merin AWFJ.org Social Animals, the first feature from writer/director Theresa Bennett, is a neatly conceived and well-realized femme-centric comedy... Oct 14, 2022 Full Review Cate Marquis AWFJ.org Writer/director Theresa Bennett's debut feature film Social Animals is a light, quirky comedy about modern romance, Austin, TX style. Oct 14, 2022 Full Review Betsy Bozdech AWFJ.org Social Animals isn't the first indie comedy to explore the restless ennui of late-twentysomething/early-thirtysomething life, and it likely won't be the last. But it's always refreshing to get a femme-centric take on the subject... Oct 14, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

tom m Another odd film. It was just okay. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member 3.4 I love these quirky movies Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/19/21 Full Review Audience Member Social Animals. There's not much to say about this movie ... Sunday. Romantic comedy without anything new to contribute. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Not many critic reviews, but I agree with audience average of 5 out of 10. It does try too hard but has familiar faces which do a decent job of playing their parts. A weak script only can take you so far. I wouldn't say it is awful, but wouldn't watch it again. Very relatable at times, especially as a parent (Lice scene). Talks about pubes without getting too carried away (main character is a groin waxer). And doesn't focus on the nudity/sex scenes that unnecessarily slow movies down. Does use a tired cliche of a "Republican" character that finds politics more entertaining than sex. (HA) My liberal friends always seem much more interested in politics than my conservative ones. If you're a fan of any of the main characters, you will probably like it ok. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member Actually a really good movie, I recommend seeing this movie, I used Redbox. Heart warming and realistic with good acting by the lead characters. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Great acting and entertaining story - Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Read all reviews
