Raunchy . That’s the best word to describe this film . Basically two homeless scummy people trying to connive and scam their way into getting enough money for a bus ticket out of town . Considering their backgrounds the plans the come up with are as grimy as they come and I loved each and every pathetic one . Not per say a laugh out loud comedy but definitely a solid one. 3.8

As a dark comedy it tries really hard to be funny, but the writing and delivery just isn't there.

Abrams and Piri have scant on-screen charisma. And, even if they did, their dialogue together is nothing more than foul-mouthed insults - unimaginative ones at that.

[T]urns milquetoast Canada on its head and finds the humour in the black-hearted reality of our self-centred buck-a-beer culture.

National Post

Director Jeremy LaLonde seems almost to have given himself a challenge - make a comedy in which the two protagonists are not only completely unlovable; they're actually kind of hateable.

Rated: 2/5

The Gate

Deliberately grotesque, unapologetically foul-mouthed, and frequently hilarious Canadian comedy The Go-Getters revels in bad taste and worse behavior.

In The Seats

A hilarious dark comedy full of energy and crude humor, The Go-Getters is a delight from beginning to end.

I can honestly say Pirie's pint-sized Wolverine act - and Abrams's willingness to be beaten to a pulp in the service of a laugh - are oddly complementary, and shouldn't be missed.
