Leave your thoughts about Fourth of July.
| Wall Street JournalKyle SmithIt’s all painfully exact and true. Myself a product of exactly this kind of blue-collar New England community, I winced as I laughed at this gang of badly dressed, foul-mouthed reprobates. My people! |
| Film ThreatAlex SavelievLouis C.K. should’ve applied sandpaper to the movie’s rougher edges; he should’ve adopted the jazzy, purposefully meandering, “anything goes” vibe of his previous outings. The comedic drama starts off like that, then collapses in its last third in a heap of sentimental mush. |
| Original-CinJim SlotekFourth of July is meant to be a comedy, but isn’t in the sense that there is nothing funny enough to laugh at. It is a domestic car crash with no edge or purpose. |
| VarietyOwen GleibermanFourth of July is a trifle, and a facile, easy-to-watch one. But what it’s offering under the surface feels, in part, like a clandestine defense of Louis C.K.’s transgressions. In about 45 minutes, the family swings from being louts to saints. That’s supposed to be a lesson to us all. It’s not a convincing one. |
| The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Barry HertzThis film is a dud all on its own, a watered down Woody Allen facsimile that is long on F-bombs and short on wit, with an internal logic that falls apart with barely a half-cocked glance. |
| The New York TimesGlenn KennyAs a director, Louis C.K. puts several feet wrong. |
| The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckFourth of July turns out to be something we would have never expected from its director/co-writer — bland. |
| The PlaylistNick AllenThis movie, a forgettable indie aside from who directed it, offers sentiment, and its existence. That’s about it. Whether one is revolted or delighted by another C.K. production, Fourth of July is a dud. |
| The Film StageEthan VestbyNo matter where you stand on C.K.’s “reemergence” into the public eye, it’s a little disappointing that all he could muster was a platitude. Certainly a plea for people to forgive could’ve been made with a little more passion. |
| Movie NationRoger MooreIt’s a serious “meh,” squishy and sentimental — like a Woody Allen (cough cough) rough draft, with lots more swearing. |
