Leave your thoughts about Mack & Rita.
| TheWrapFran HoepfnerMack & Rita is silly, but it’s a strong, necessary kind of silly, a warm and embracing kind of silly. Keaton has rarely been so bubbling and bright, reminding us that regardless of age, being true to yourself is all that really counts in a person. The love will come no matter what. |
| Entertainment WeeklyLeah GreenblattKeaton seems to be having a ball with her pratfalls too, though you wish it wasn't all played so silly and flat-out conventional in the end: new broad, old tricks. |
| The New York TimesLisa KennedyDirected with some unexpected beats by Katie Aselton, the comedy captures a bit of the esprit de girlfriends of HBO’s “Insecure,” but borrows too giddily from the Nancy Meyers rom-com catalog of upscale homes. |
| RogerEbert.comNell MinowThe film's promising setup and excellent cast are let down by a script so forgettable that even to try to summarize it is to feel it dissolve from memory. |
| The A.V. ClubCourtney HowardVisually, fusing the story with a warm, contemporary aesthetic makes it a pleasant enough affair. But ultimately, Mack & Rita is a passable work at best for Aselton (Black Rock and The Freebie serve as better showcases for her creative voice), and consequently, it’s unlikely to lead to her soon swapping chairs with the director of the next big-budget blockbuster. |
| VarietyAmy NicholsonThe film does, at minimum, convince us that most people would want to transform into Keaton if given the opportunity. |
| The Hollywood ReporterSheri LindenAt times disarming, at others plain silly, it takes a few daring leaps without quite avoiding middle-of-the-road sitcom territory. |
| Los Angeles TimesKatie WalshAselton has a light touch as a director, and she wisely trots out an all-star parade of comedy heavyweights to distract from the script issues. |
| Boston GlobeSerena PuangThe film misses an opportunity to portray the complexity of one’s 30s — and 70s. Still, Mack & Rita is a quirky movie that reminds the audience to live life to the fullest, whatever age they are. |
| Washington PostKristen Page-KirbyMack & Rita feels, paradoxically, both too short and overlong. It could have examined the theme of aging much more deeply. Alternatively, it might have made a nice short film about a young person who becomes a senior citizen for a night. As it is, it’s a story that doesn’t need to be told and isn’t told very well. |
