Bad Shabbos Ratings & Reviews

Got some laughs 4/5
Washington Post
Ty Burr
No matter that Paymer has 11 years on Sedgwick; the two make a believable couple, he turning Richard into a sweet-natured ditherer and she making Ellen a past master at delivering put-downs with a well-meaning smile.
In Review Online
Zachary Goldkind
That the project hinges itself on a single joke in its first act... suggests a fundamental limitation rooted in simple juvenilia.
Boston Movie News
James Verniere
I know I am in the minority. But this is a lot of shtick and cliches.
North Shore Movies
Daniel M. Kimmel
If you're intrigued, you should take in "Bad Shabbos," but you might want to wait until after sundown on Saturday - when actual Shabbos ends.
Sarah G Vincent Views
Sarah Vincent
If you are a fan of movies where someone dies at a bachelor party but wishes that it was more wholesome and family friendly, then "Bad Shabbos" (2024) is for you.
Screen Zealots
Louisa Moore
A culturally specific yet universally funny story that builds into a deliciously madcap crescendo of escalating disasters, this brisk, breezy comedy with a distinctly Jewish flavor hits all the right notes on family, faith, and identity.
Los Angeles Times
Gary Goldstein
Because the film leans so heavily into its breakneck antics, the folks here mostly come off more as a collection of stereotypes than as realistic people tackling a credible crisis.
Reeling Reviews
Laura Clifford
at its best when its humor is character driven, but the dead body driving the plot is often a dead weight for the comedy.
San Francisco Chronicle
Bob Strauss
Neither too "oy vey" nor "Weekend at Bernie's" but steeped in the best aspects of both Jewish and black comedy, "Bad Shabbos" is a treat any night of the week.
48 Hills
Dennis Harvey
Feeling somewhat like a stage play, though shot nimbly enough, Bad Shabbos is ultimately clever and amusing enough. But it's also pretty sitcomish in tenor, with some performances laboring pretty hard for wackiness.
San Jose Mercury News
Randy Myers
It is Cliff "Method Man" Smith, as a witty doorman who's brighter than anyone else, that brings "Bad Shabbos" across the finish line.

Rain Jokinen
[I]f the movie is worth seeing at all, it is for Cliff "Method Man" Smith's hilarious performance as Jordan the doorman, who ends up being the exact kind of guest one may need at a murderous shabbat dinner.
Maven's Nest
Nora Lee Mandel
Entertaining ensemble gathers for an amusingly written, eventful family dinner on a Friday night at a Manhattan Upper West Side apt with a new fiancee and her family. Sedgwick is a loving tigress matriarch. "Method Man" joins to comically steal the show.
Movie Mom
Nell Minow
The tone of the film may be heightened, exaggerated for comic purposes, but unlike too many other movies this film never makes the Jewish characters into caricatures and the details are precise and affectionate. It's very dark, but it is also very funny.
We Live Entertainment
Aaron Neuwirth
This film is not so much a satire as it is a stage play come to life (although not truly, in this instance), but the bigness only allows the film to remain as playful as it does.
What She Said
Anne Brodie
...a sly brew of stealth, bold decisions so bizarre and funny they would be unbelievable except for Cliff the doorman whose sheer brilliance mimics a runaway train. It opens corny and silly, quickly becomes edgy and the third act - wow!
New York Times
Natalia Winkelman
This is, after all, a situational comedy, in which the laughs spring from reaction shots and line deliveries. Luckily, the actors prove up to the task.
Variety
Alissa Simon
A strong ensemble cast nails the tasty dialogue and increasingly frantic action without falling into shtick.

Dwight Brown
This movie can thank a breakout performance by the rapper Method Man (Wu-Tang Clan) for pulling it across the finish line.
