Critics Consensus

Jillian Bell's raunchy, sex-positive debut captures the essence of '90s teen comedies while imparting a deeper sense of heart and distinguishable personality for the Summer of 69.

Its charms aren’t just in its wonderfully loose approach to raunchy comedy and a brief flash of a boob; they lie in the longer reveal of its tender heart.

The only annoying thing about 'Summer of 69' is that this is the exact kind of laugh out loud, emotionally satisfying, share-it-with-a-friend comedy that would probably find a sizable audience in theaters — and instead it’s a Hulu exclusive.

Summer of 69 never gets into truly brash or raunchy territory (it’s more Booksmart than Bottoms), but it showcases the kind of sweet, unlikely friendships that make teen comedies memorable.

7.5/10

This is not a raunchfest but a more sentimental story about friendship, which was surprising but ultimately rewarding.

There's a genuine sweetness beneath the broad innuendo, yet the characters aren’t well defined beyond their quirks, which compromises the intended emotional impact.

4/5

A particularly sweet, coming-of-age comedy that injects more than enough heart into proceedings to offset its teen-sex-comedy mentality.

I give it a 6.9, a nice light hearted comedy. Could be worse. Could be better.

A really good old fashion 90s-like comedy. With a simple plot, smart writing and little Risky Business like stakes thrown in, it has enough heart and laughs to carry you to a satisfying conclusion.

It was a good movie kind of reminded me of my childhood a little bit with old 90s comedies

I made an account just to review this movie, because it deserves a better score than what it has. I audibly laughed, and I cried twice. Unbelievable cast, hilarious and heartwarming performances, I’m so glad Hulu auto played this
