Critics Consensus

The Binge starts out with the promise of a fun time, but gets sloppy on bottom-shelf humor and stumbles face down into the gutter.

James F

It's a witty comedy that has its funny moments but story wise it's a huge letdown. Started out incredible. Interesting ‘Purge' like inspired content that hadn't been done before in comedy. But sometime around the Mushroom Trip it becomes very dull. If you are okay with GOOD/BAD comedies this is probably for you.

Audience score says it all. It's a fun movie with a lot of memorable moments. One in particular I'll quote for the remainder of my days. It's a coming of age comedy. While clearly not as good, I'd put it in the vein of super bad and youth in revolt. Not sure why critics expected this movie to rival avengers endgame for some reason. They just gotta suck it down pipe, and they'll be happy for it.

Genuinely cringed morr at the stupidity that laughed at anything. Nothing really makes any sense to the degree it's not entertaining anymore.

I wanted more Argyle in my life and I ended up with the origin story! Honestly really enjoyed this movie. It's absurd but well done. I was laughing so hard I was wheezing.

The Binge was a surprisingly easy viewing comedy. We had low expectations but there are laughs to be had, even if it doesn't hit Superbad's heights. As usual, friendship underlies everything. Worth a watch if on a comedy binge.

No amount of booze could make this Hulu teen comedy seem funny.

[A] raucous, happily irresponsible party that should help locked-in, bottled-up Americans release some steam.

A tedious and only occasionally amusing comedic riff on The Purge franchise.

The Digital Fix

Despite a few good performances and a surprisingly wild performance from Vince Vaughn, The Binge might just be the worst film 2020 has to offer with zero laughs and a lot of problematic, outdated material.

The Binge should serve as a cautionary tale for how not to make a movie, much less a comedy. Even a silly story with little at stake must take some kind of form or it to work.

Ultimately, there's plenty to enjoy in The Binge, thanks to likeable characters, some inventively witty dialogue...just a shame that the central premise has so little impact on the plot.

Rated: 3/5
