Peter Debruge Variety 08/01/2024
The edgy comedy looks sharp enough, but lands like a rapier with a cork on it. Go to Full Review Michael Cook KLRT-TV 09/02/2024

It has an interesting premise, but falls apart in the 2nd act. The 3rd act does redeem it somewhat. Go to Full Review Keith Garlington Keith & the Movies 08/22/2024
2.5/5
If you plow down deep enough you’ll find what resembles a thematic core. But it’s buried under banter and antics that only seem there to get an R rating. Go to Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews 08/15/2024

This modern-day dramedy, about an old-school idea, successfully balances humor and anxiety. Go to Full Review Sean Boelman FandomWire 08/01/2024
7/10

Ken S 08/01/2024 Great movie, the directors kelp you thinking and wondering how the movie was going to end. See more Annie F 08/01/2024 This was really special. Sprouse is all grown up, and it's good to see he's picking cool projects. It was almost perfect for me, just a little slow in the middle. See more Noah 08/01/2024 This movie 100% surpassed my expectations. Great writing and performances. Excited to see what cast + filmmakers do next See more Issasquaw movie fan 08/01/2024 A very clever film that kept you not knowing for sure how it would end until the very end. See more Rob M Mar 23 An amazing and surprising film that, had it featured A-List actors, would've broke records at the box office. See more Steve 09/04/2024 oddly was hard to find this movie on digital platforms! Glad I found it though! See more Read all reviews
