IndieWire
Beers' screenplay manages to sustain the outrageous scenario with a string of jokes that don't take the underlying goofiness for granted. Instead, the writer-director builds on its crass foundations with constant inspired one-liners. - 60
The Hollywood Reporter
The script, by Beers and Mathew Harawitz, offers a little less invention in this endless-repeat scenario than it might have. - 40
The New York Times
Premature bops along with a wiseacre self-awareness and a nimble cast... But Mr. Beers and his fellow screenwriter, Mathew Harawitz, also have a numbing Seth MacFarlane-esque weakness for purely attention-getting crudeness and unfunny stereotypes. - 33
The A.V. Club
Watching Bill Murray go through the same scenario over and over is one thing. Experiencing the same feeble dick jokes over and over is another. - 30
The Dissolve
Premature isn’t nearly as inventive and witty as Groundhog Day or Edge Of Tomorrow about finding fresh angles on repeating events, and it overestimates how much the audience might care about the self-improvement of a bland, clueless douchebag. - 30
Village Voice
Premature, you will be exhausted to hear, is a teen sex comedy with the plot of Groundhog Day, its supernatural comedy hearkening more to Scott Baio's Zapped! than to Porky's. - 30
Variety
Premature winds up resembling nothing so much as the coarsely smutty teen-sex comedies that abounded throughout the ’80s in the wake of “Porky’s.” - 30
Los Angeles Times
A rapidly wearying comedy that mistakes crudeness with humor.
