Slant Magazine
Falls back on the trappings of the film's innumerable teenage gross-out forefathers with tiresome vulgarity and rote misunderstandings in place of genuine insight. - 38
McClatchy-Tribune News Service
First-time director/co-writer Tim Garrick has little sense of timing and the movie mainly just lies there, never percolating to life, never living down to its lowdown and lewd promise. - 30
The Hollywood Reporter
A clumsy high-school sex comedy which tries too hard to be both shocking and endearing, falling short on both counts. - 25
RogerEbert.com
What a grim experience. - 20
The Dissolve
As fresh as a stiff tissue and even less appealing, the film takes its cues from so many disparate sources, it almost feels like an accidental spoof. - 10
Variety
[A] ruthlessly unfunny misfire. - 0
Los Angeles Times
Behaving Badly is a dreadful sex comedy that gets worse and worse as its dopey story snowballs into relative incoherence.
