San Francisco Chronicle
Desperados is a lot of fun and announces “Saturday Night Live” alum Nasim Pedrad as a comic actress in the tradition of Sandra Bullock. - 60
The Guardian
It’s imperfect, sometimes frustratingly so, but also just about fun enough for yet another tipsy Friday night locked down indoors, its sun-drenched setting proving alluring and yet cruelly out of reach. - 50
The Globe and Mail (Toronto)
Maybe Rapoport’s script from way back when was fiercer, sharper, and funnier, and the sands of time have simply eroded any of its interesting edges down to mere nubs of gross-out nothingness. But watching it today on Netflix, it can’t help but feel highly algorithmic. - 42
The A.V. Club
The cast as a whole persists mightily throughout this shambling, frustrating, overplotted film. - 42
IndieWire
Comedy has to be more than just cheap, gross gags that illicit a response steeped in revulsion. It’s got to have a heart. - 38
New York Post
Such a comedy cannot depend solely on its supporting cast, especially when they’re tasked with lifting up subpar material. - 38
Movie Nation
Shock value has no value if it’s not shockingly funny. - 30
Variety
The “raunchy” set-pieces feel like road bumps en route to a too obvious and disappointingly tidy conclusion. Do yourself a favor and spend five minutes — and as many dollars — researching something else to watch instead.
