Smigel may not want to take up permanent residence in the Happy Madison offices, but he raises his old friend’s game considerably.

Consequence
The Week Of is the wedding you forgot you were invited to, weren’t all that stoked to attend, then wound up loving anyway because you had such a surprisingly good time.

Entertainment Weekly
It feels like Smigel and Sandler just shot the first draft of their script without fine-tuning or polishing any of the jokes.

The New York Times
While the movie is ultimately more of the same old same old, it is at least not as appallingly sexist and culturally insensitive as “The Ridiculous Six,” Mr. Sandler’s dreaded 2015 Netflix Original western “spoof.”

The Guardian
There are laughs, but they’re meek.

Variety
While some gags are funny the first time around, practically everything in The Week Of overstays its welcome.

Chicago Sun-Times
The jokes in The Week Of are big and obvious and sometimes mildly tasteless.
