The A.V. Club
Pop-culture references, witty banter, broad slapstick, and sentimental speeches all fall equally flat. - 40
The Guardian
These films were always down on women – Armstrong squanders the peerless Krysten Ritter as eye candy – but this slovenly runaround only exposes the low opinion they’ve harboured of their target male demographic. We’re meant to identify with them? - 30
Variety
As it stands, there are only enough comic ideas here, most of them bad ones, to reach 82 minutes; the other 11 are taken up by a postscript scene, a blooper, and closing credits that move, in the words of Scarlett O’Hara, as slow as molasses in January. - 30
The Hollywood Reporter
The comedy here feels secondhand and becomes grating when no cliche is left unused, whether about nationality, race, gays or the female gender. - 25
IndieWire
This is safe, hyper-conventional stuff, lazy enough to make you feel bad that Middleditch had to free willy for it. The best thing you can say about the movie is that men have taken their pants off for less. - 25
The Playlist
Given how good the cast often are elsewhere, it doesn’t seem unfair to put this at Armstrong’s door, and the film has a very first-time-director feel to it. - 25

When did these very funny and undeniably talented TV actors know that Search Party was a disaster? - 25
The Film Stage
This is the type of comedy where the flop sweat is nearly always present as each player tries to lift the comedy, only to tragically belly-flop over and over. No one here is phoning it in, but with material this bad, it would be hard to blame them.
