Leave your thoughts about A Bad Idea Gone Wrong.
| Film Journal InternationalMaitland McDonaghIt's the kind of movie that shines brightest when discovered by accident: The less information you have going in, the more likely you are to be seduced by its quirky charms. |
| Solzy at the MoviesDanielle SolzmanA Bad Idea Gone Wrong does what many studio comedies failed to do this year by delivering a solid comedy with heart. |
| The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckThere’s also just enough well-earned sentiment thrown in to provide a nice counterpoint to the farcical humor. |
| Los Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinHeadley has created three oddly memorable folks here, no small feat given their detail-light histories. It’s also a testament to the able cast — especially the enjoyably nimble Rogers — that we invest in their characters and their cockeyed plight as much as we do. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekThis little would-be heist comedy proves an engaging trifle-nothing more than an extended sitcom, but a pretty good one. |
| VarietyJoe LeydonFirst-time filmmaker Jason Headley, directing from his own screenplay, keeps his concoction moving briskly and humorously, with a light sprinkling of acceptably sweet sentimentality here and there. |
| Film PulseAdam PattersonA slightly entertaining, yet ultimately forgettable, affair. |
| Film ThreatAlan NgUnfortunately, the film's situation and dialogue fail to push A Bad Idea Gone Wrong successfully across the finish line. It's situation just doesn't feel dangerous enough. |
| User ReviewMidmost CThis is a great modern take on a caper film which is ripe with good comedic timing and originality. We were fortunate enough to see this on the film festival circuit as it came through the Cucalorus Festival in our podcast's home base in Wilmington, North Carolina. Definitely would recommend. |
| User ReviewMaya KThis is a comedy about inept thieves. However it is also an emotional journey about letting go. Extraordinarily moving in parts. Hilarious in others. This movie has complexity missing in current mainstream movies. |
