| San Francisco ChronicleDavid WiegandWhen you finally stop laughing, there is something to think about. |
| L.A. WeeklyErnest HardyThere’s nothing new in the movie’s sociocultural insights, especially for those of us already interested in how identity is shaped by pop culture, but the breezy tone and obvious fun being had by the cast make Finishing the Game a slight, low-key cool cinematic essay on identity politics. |
| ComingSoon.netEdward DouglasA pleasant surprise with a high concept premise that allows for funnier situations and characters than some of Christopher Guest's last few offerings. |
| ColeSmithey.comCole SmitheyBesmirching Bruce Lee's name like this should be a punishable offense. |
| Film ThreatJeff WongThe premise was so golden and in front of our noses for so long, it's amazing that is has taken this long for someone to do it. I'm still upset that it wasn't me. |
| Seattle Post-IntelligencerSean AxmakerWhat exactly he's trying to say about Bruce Lee's fame and impact or the banal reality of genre moviemaking is unclear at best. |
| Filmcritic.comDon WillmottYou can easily tell how great a time everyone is having, and it's infectious. |
| The Hollywood ReporterJustin LoweThe ensemble cast members play well off one another, particularly Fan as the self-absorbed Bruce Lee wannabe and Lynn in the role of the monumentally ignorant casting director. |
| TV Guide MagazineMaitland McDonaghIt feels as though everyone involved was having a rollicking good time, and while the film itself is wildly uneven, Lin and company get in a few pointed jabs at Hollywood fatuousness and self-delusion, cultural stereotypes and '70s fashions. |
| Time OutDavid FearWhat little potential there is ends up squandered within nanoseconds; as both a parody and a polemic, the film is finished before it's barely begun. |
