Paddleton Ratings & Reviews
AV Club
Mike D'Angelo
On the whole, Paddleton isn't quite as strong as was Lehmann's relatively little-seen debut, Blue Jay, but it builds to a duet as harrowing and tender and moving as anyone could desire, or fear, or both.
RogerEbert.com
Monica Castillo
An appreciation of friendship for better or for worse, in sickness and in health.
Entertainment Weekly
Chris Nashawaty
Thanks to two pitch-perfect performances, Paddleton is bittersweet and poignant beyond words.
Tribune News Service
Katie Walsh
While "Paddleton" takes its time to get there, it ultimately reaches a deeply poignant conclusion. If you're patient enough, that alone could be worth the trip.
The Playlist
Jason Bailey
The revelation here is Ray Romano, and not just because he's so funny - though that should not be undervalued.
Slant Magazine
Chuck Bowen
The film largely plays its scenario with a straight and gooey face, coaxing its actors to indulge their worst tendencies.
Polygon
Karen Han
Whatever may feel annoying or disingenuous about Paddleton is trumped by the emotional honesty of its ending, and the remarkable tenderness of Romano's work.
New York Magazine/Vulture
David Edelstein
To get a sense of how excruciating the first hour is, you need to imagine Dumb and Dumber played for tears instead of laughs.
New York Times
Kyle Turner
Previous writing-directing work by Duplass with his brother, Jay ("Jeff Who Lives at Home"), could be quietly devastating. "Paddleton" is mostly just quiet.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Abele
[T]o fight against "Paddleton" and its no-frills, in-the-moment mission of mercy is, ultimately, useless.
Variety
Nick Schager
A movie about cancer has no right to be as consistently amusing as "Paddleton" - a triumph for which credit should be spread around, even if it most deservedly goes to Ray Romano.
The Hollywood Reporter
Frank Scheck
Sneaks up on you with an emotional punch.
The Hollywood Outsider
Amanda Sink
Arguably the bromance movie of the year, Paddleton will leave you with an empty box of tissues, calling your best friend.
Consequence
Clint Worthington
In exploring the significance of these habits, and the connections we forge through them, Paddleton is a sweetly existential surprise.
Hollywood News
Joey Magidson
What Romano delivers here is unexpected and downright staggering.
Midwest Film Journal
Nick Rogers
The improv structure on which Blue Jay soared here becomes a security blanket for Duplass & Romano to cling to their respective placid and peevish personas. But in time, Paddleton sneaks up on you and the actors make its wallop strong.
The Daily Dot
Eddie Strait
Whether it's admitting what someone's friendship means to you, or watching a friend die, Paddleton encourages its characters, and the audience, to feel their feelings.
Decider
Joel Keller
Paddleton is a pretty quiet and simple movie, but you'll get sucked in by Andy and Michael's friendship, and the literally life-and-death the two choices have to make.
Pittsburgh Magazine
Sean Collier
In Paddleton ... deep bonds can form without many words - and endure, and strengthen, in the face of incredible trials. It's a worthy reminder.
World of Reel
Jordan Ruimy
A slight, but loving ode to male friendship.
