Ass Backwards Ratings & Reviews
Common Sense Media
Jeffrey M. Anderson
The movie's one joke is that they don't quite realize how pathetic they are. This kind of joke could work if the characters were charming and had the ability to win over other characters, but these women remain stupid and annoying throughout.
Hollywood.com
Matt Patches
It helps that Wilson and Raphael both come from sketch comedy. They're well-versed in hyper-specific characters -- and ones we want to spend more time with, just to see what trouble they weasel their ways into. R
The Hollywood Reporter
Justin Lowe
Ill-advised and amateurishly executed, Ass Backwards begins with a passably funny concept and runs it into the ground within 20 minutes.
Way Too Indie
C.J. Prince
With a script so painfully unfunny it's hard to imagine that Raphael and Wilson (who got some of their funding for the film through Kickstarter) never had anyone tell them they were working with absolute dreck.
Paste Magazine
Chris Morgan
It's a little slapdash, a little flimsy, and doesn't seem to quite know what it wants to be at times, but it's good to see Raphael and Wilson get the chance to finally carry something for once.
RogerEbert.com
Christy Lemire
As with any kind of episodic or sketch comedy, some gags land more effectively than others, although you'll likely find a line or a beat or an image that makes you laugh from start to finish.
New York Times
Neil Genzlinger
The road adventures they have along the way aren't funny, and once they reach the pageant, the comic payoff you're hoping for never materializes.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Abele
Where movie comedy teams once required a "straight" member - or so-called normal characters - off which to bounce stupidity or silliness, Raphael and Wilson believe total immersion in thickheadedness and failure is riot enough.
New York Daily News
Elizabeth Weitzman
Raphael and Wilson are impressively committed to these misadventures, but it's a shame the movie is so cruel to the characters.
AV Club
Kyle Ryan
Ass Backwards overcomes the obvious beats with clever, occasionally dark jokes that reveal the sharpness of its stars' writing.
Village Voice
Chris Packham
The episodic story and minimal budget result in a small canvas over which these two huge characters dominate.
CraveOnline
Ariel Schudson
Ass Backwards is a film that is all-at-once hilarious, intelligent, poignant and accessible.
Film School Rejects
Allison Loring
Wilson and Raphael do not hold back in their performances, fully committing to their roles and making Chloe and Kate both lovable and laughable.
Blu-ray.com
Brian Orndorf
This is a feature that opens and closes with shots of women urinating. No amount of high-beam comedic work is going save a picture that doesn't have much imagination to begin with.
Entertainment Weekly
Missy Schwartz
If you loved Romy and Michele's High School Reunion... well, rewatch it instead of this tedious comedy.
TheFilmFile.com
Dustin Putman
The pessimistic, passive-aggressive "Ass Backwards" may have been written by women, but one would never guess it judging by the evidence onscreen.
The Dissolve
Mike D'Angelo
Comedy can be fueled by desperation, but the characters are the ones who should be flailing wildly, not the writer-stars.
Film Threat
Erik Childress
A below-90-minute running time is not even a silver lining to a film that lives up to its name in more ways than one.
Film.com
Jordan Hoffman
I can't help but recommend you check this out on VOD and mostly pay attention to it.
Variety
Dennis Harvey
A comedy built on the amusement value of stupid people that is itself too stupid to be funny.
