Kimber Myers Crooked Marquee 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. Rated: B May 19, 2025 Full Review William Bibbiani TheWrap 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. May 10, 2025 Full Review Lovia Gyarkye The Hollywood Reporter 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. May 10, 2025 Full Review Todd Jorgenson Cinemalogue 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. May 30, 2025 Full Review Peter Gray The AU Review A particularly sweet, coming-of-age comedy that injects more than enough heart into proceedings to offset its teen-sex-comedy mentality. Rated: 4/5 May 22, 2025 Full Review Mary Kassel Screen Rant More about friendship than romance, Summer of 69 revels in its sweet premise, but is too disjointed to make me care about its characters. Rated: 4/10 May 20, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews

Alex s it’s an alright movie kind of a hard watch but not bad if you would watch anything at this point Rated 2 out of 5 stars 06/20/25 Full Review Clara L I loved the movie I loved how Abby finally found more confidence in herself and Max just being there for her as a friend and also having a huge crush on her since they were kids. These 2 should get married if their will be a part 2 I hope so once their adults. The movie was cute and adorable! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/17/25 Full Review Mike M Chloe Finneman and the lead actor had great chemistry. Wasn't outrageously funny but I enjoyed it. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/15/25 Full Review Craig W Extreme adult topic notwithstanding, Summer of 69 easily channels the sweet and innocent John Hughes teen movies of the 80s for a satisfying result. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/11/25 Full Review Torin F SUMMER OF 69 spins up a fresh take on the teen comedy formula, making the most of its premise to deliver a consistently entertaining and heartfelt coming of age adventure that's a little sweet, a little sexy, and a lot of laughs. Both leads shine, with SNL cast member Chloe Fineman really coming into her own as a comedic actor. An impressive directorial debut for Jillian Bell. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/06/25 Full Review Azia C 'Summer of 69' is a sweet and nostalgic adventure. Sam Morelos shines as "Abby," a protagonist you'll be rooting for from the very first scene. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/29/25 Full Review Read all reviews
