Leslie Felperin Guardian There are a couple of sly zingers every so often but it’s just a shame the material isn’t a bit sharper. Rated: 2/5 Jun 4, 2024 Full Review Owen Gleiberman Variety “The Prank” is no big whoop, but for a good stretch it’s a tartly written, engagingly nasty little comedy of high-school vengeance. Mar 17, 2022 Full Review Alexandra Heller-Nicholas AWFJ.org While the plot may be too OTT for some, it is surely these very excesses that make the film the wild ride that it is as it puts the casual cruelty of youth in its crosshairs. Mar 17, 2022 Full Review Joseph Tomastik Loud and Clear Reviews At best, everything is simplified to an almost childish degree. At worst, you could possibly make the argument that this film actually condones certain terrible behaviors. Rated: 2.5/5 Oct 5, 2024 Full Review Katelyn Nelson Daily Grindhouse ...a fun ride propelled onward by strong performances...despite some pacing issues that occasionally slow the story..., it’s a darkly comic exploration of the time-honored tradition of intimidated kids making monsters out of mole hills Aug 4, 2024 Full Review Jeffrey M. Anderson Common Sense Media This movie didn't work back when it was called 'Teaching Mrs. Tingle,' and it doesn't work now. It relies on flat characters and fails to say much of anything about social media ills or nasty behavior. Rated: 2/5 Mar 29, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
