Consequence
It succeeds as a minor work from Jody Hill, which if nothing else is still good for more than a few laughs. - 63
Movie Nation
As comedies go, it’s not a kill shot. But it makes a miss almost as entertaining. - 60
Variety
McBride is good for a few chuckles during the first two-thirds of the movie and continues to contribute a fair share of funny business after the plot takes a not altogether persuasive serious turn. But Brolin remains the main attraction, and the saving grace, during this lost weekend in the woods. - 60
Los Angeles Times
The Legacy of a Whitetail Deer Hunter is more of a wistful character sketch than a fully realized wilderness comedy. - 58
Entertainment Weekly
After about 10 minutes, The Legacy of a Whitetail Deer Hunter feels borderline promising. After 80, it feels like a blown opportunity. - 58
The A.V. Club
The characters are stubborn as ever, but in lieu of the characteristic spectacular downfall, The Legacy Of A Whitetail Deer Hunter offers only the pokiest and most rote of plots. - 50
IndieWire
There are some real missed opportunities here. - 50
The Film Stage
In the end, The Legacy of the Whitetail Deer Hunter feels as innocuous and funny as some of the higher-tier films from Adam Sandler’s Happy Madison production studio. It misses the mark on subversion, but it at least offers a few chuckles along the way.
