Critics Consensus

With a cast this talented, The Out-Laws can't help but provide some laughs -- but they're too few and far between to make up for the movie's derivative, sitcom-worthy setup.

The Out-Laws is good for a few chuckles, but not much more.

DeVine manages to make unapologetic dweebishness charming, and the movie is elevated by a mish-mash of wonderful character-actor bit parts.

Everything you need to know about this movie can be gleaned from its title. That's rarely a good sign.

Rated: 1.5/4

For a Netflix movie that was obviously reverse-engineered from its title, and even more obviously made by the director of The Wrong Missy, Tyler Spindel’s The Out-Laws could be a hell of a lot worse.

Rated: C

Despite its star cast, The Outlaws never feels bigger than a made-for-TV movie. If you paid to see it on the big screen you’d certainly feel robbed, but it gets away with being a decent enough, watch-and-forget viewing on a rainy winter night.

Mostly just undemanding, amusing stupidity, which used to be taken as a mild compliment back when comedy was actually a genre of movie that got made.

Rated: B-

While you naturally grow a likeness to a film that throws a joke every 30 seconds, it’s a buzzkill that there is hardly anything worth remembering in a film that even has a high-speed car chase in a cemetery.

Had to bail 15 minutes in. Just couldn’t bear to watch it any more. Adam DeVine’s slapstick acting belongs in the Charlie Chaplin era. I don’t think I’ve ever watched a movie where his character doesn’t irritate me, even small parts. He is not leading man material. Pathetic puerile vulgar sex jokes and innuendo. Just lazy script writing, which is the weakest element of this movie. Not much better from Richard Kind’s character. I selected this because I hoped Pierce Brosnan would be in a reasonable movie but alas, no. I feel sorry for him. The critics rating (22%) is about right, and only for those that like this genre.

Contained some good laughs. As a comedy, fan I thoroughly enjoyed it. Worth a watch if you are looking for something fun.

I expected a better movie from Happy Madison and Adam Sandler, but this one was disappointing. It was packed with awkward moments, unfunny sexual jokes, unnecessary slurs, and a dull storyline. The dynamic between the clueless nice guy (Owen Browning) and the tough in-law (Pierce Brosnan) felt forced and ineffective.
