What on earth was the point of remaking the hysterically funny 1949 version. This is so preciously bad

Utterly lacks the bite and flair of the original, and the accents are unconvincing from the start. A waste of some really good actors.

Good show with engaging characters - critics love to slam a show before the audience can even see it more than one time.

Little White Lies

Clunky and affected, with too little drama to carry the narrative.

Empire Magazine

Too restrained and polite to really grip the attention, this feels more like comfortable Sunday night TV than cinematic fare.

Rated: 2/5

Variety

There's little to dislike about this second shot of "Whisky," with its appealing ensemble and hat-in-hand approach to the Ealing playbook; there's just equally little reason for it to exist.

Third Coast Review

The film is meant to be lighthearted, and that's mostly what it is... A harmless distraction and low-grade wackiness.

Cinema Crazed

Whisky Galore! is an enjoyable film with comedic elements while maintaining a very serious tone throughout most of it, which ends up adding to the rather dry comedy and fun of it.

Rated: 3/5
