Good on Paper Ratings & Reviews
Rolling Stone
David Fear
As an "anti-rom-com," hijacking the genre's rhythms without adhering to the rules of the game, Good on Paper is fine. As a satire of showbiz vapidity, it's decent. It's not nearly as subversive as you want it to be.
Common Sense Media
Jennifer Green
Iliza Shlesinger and Margaret Cho make a very funny duo, and while this collaboration isn't great cinema, it's an amusing and well-paced hour and half of entertainment.
In Review Online
Molly Adams
[The film] is hemmed in by the constraints of its own genre, committing more to milking a few laughs than crafting any meaningful commentary on dating in the golden age of grifters.
The Maine Edge
Allen Adams
Good on Paper earns its title, a decent idea whose execution doesn't measure up...a clumsy and intermittently watchable film, one that squanders a great deal of potential.
Cultured Vultures
Natasha Alvar
Iliza Shlesinger and Margaret Cho on screen together is a winning combination. Unfortunately, more is needed to make Good on Paper succeed as an anti rom-com.
RogerEbert.com
Carla Renata
Iliza Schlesinger takes a familiar premise and spins it with stand-up comedy reminding girls sometimes what is good on paper is a hot buttered mess waiting to be exposed
Third Coast Review
Lisa Trifone
Absolutely no one in Good on Paper seems to believe any of the words they're saying.
Paul's Trip to the Movies
Paul McGuire Grimes
I couldn't help but wonder if this story would actually work better as a short stand up story instead of being stretched to a 90 minute movie.
Pittsburgh Magazine
Sean Collier
While it's not necessarily a shocking arc ... [it's] both a twist and, in many ways, refreshing for any romcom-adjacent genre.
Detroit News
Adam Graham
As a stand-up routine it may have worked, but some material is best left to the stage.
Decider
Jade Budowski
A solid premise and Shlesinger and Hansen's unconventional chemistry make it more than worth your while.
Tell-Tale TV
Allison Nichols
Good on Paper is an absolutely crazy ride; you never know where it is going to take you. Unfortunately, it falls short on delivering laughs and being entertaining.
San Jose Mercury News
Randy Myers
In her directorial debut, comedian Kimmy Gatewood handles the brittle material well, but it is the screenplay and the actors who make it a squirmingly good comedy.
Pajiba
Kayleigh Donaldson
Pay attention to those red flags. It's just a shame that Good on Paper doesn't follow its own advice.
RogerEbert.com
Monica Castillo
Despite the movie's darker aspects, Gatewood and Shlesinger escape with some decent laughs and pointed questions.
Variety
Courtney Howard
Containing razor-sharp witticisms about feminine intuition, gendered sexual politics and relationships, it excels beyond its self-deprecating title.
Wall Street Journal
John Anderson
It's a bravura portrayal of a character who's endearing, awkward and strange, in a movie that's definitely overlong but can be engagingly weird.
San Francisco Chronicle
Carla Meyer
By the end, our sympathies lie with neither duper nor the duped.
IndieWire
Kate Erbland
Shlesinger's resistance to buffering over her prickly bits is the best thing about "Good on Paper." But that same care isn't applied to the rest of the film, which can never strike a balance with its many ideas and tones...
AV Club
Caroline Siede
In trying to both score laughs and impart a moral, Good On Paper doesn't really manage to do either; it's not funny enough to work as a straight comedy and not human enough to work as a dramedy.
