Chicago Sun-Times
Indeed Get a Job is an uneven, strange little movie with a hit-and-miss screenplay, some distractingly weird camera angles and a few subplots that never should have seen the light of day (or the dark of theater), but it also has an infectious charm, some genuinely funny set pieces and winning performances throughout. - 50
The A.V. Club
With a cast this talented...Get A Job is never painful to endure, but neither does it ever rise above lazy mediocrity. - 50
The Seattle Times
In the matter of searching for work in a difficult economy, Get a Job traffics in fairy tales that come complete with happily-ever-after endings. - 40
The New York Times
At its sloppy heart, this is meant to be an affirming movie, but the filmmakers could have taken a cue from one line of dialogue: “Don’t just feel special. Be special.” - 40
Los Angeles Times
The payoff is sporadically rewarding at best. - 25
The Playlist
Get A Job is such a baffling endeavor the callow movie could conceivably come with its own milk carton campaign asking: “Where is Dylan Kidd and what have you done with him?” - 25
The Film Stage
A brutally cynical, largely unfunny film fueled by muddled social commentary. - 20
The Hollywood Reporter
From the very first scene, the rhythm is off, the staging and editing graceless, and the dialogue (the screenplay is by Kyle Pennekamp and Scott Turpel) alternates between trying too hard and not hard enough.
