Leave your thoughts about Pretty Problems.
| Film ThreatBrittany WitherspoonThanks to the cast and crew, this flamboyant tale of lavishness works on almost every level. At the heart of Pretty Problems lies a story about appreciating what you have and not relying on the compliments of strangers to influence your self-worth. |

| IndieWireChristian ZilkoA tight script, stellar ensemble cast, and plenty of easy-on-the-eyes shots of California wine country make for a delightful time at the movies. Rich people might live in a world without consequences, but Pretty Problems reminds us that it can be pretty damn fun to join them for a couple hours. |
| VarietyDennis HarveyThe result is a fresh mix of social satire and relationship dissection with a saving dollop of heart. |
| The A.V. ClubLuke Y. ThompsonThe humor in Pretty Problems isn’t often laugh-out-loud funny, but the observational satire is astute: it highlights how charity may be a performative act for donors, but that makes the need no less urgent for recipients, while acknowledging how far wealth distances some people from reality. |
| We Got This CoveredMartin CarrThis is no rehashed reboot looking for a nostalgic cash-in, but a film with something to discuss. It might not hit all the targets head-on when it comes to satire or social commentary but still remains subtly incisive and hugely entertaining. |
| Movie NationRoger MooreThe chatter is funny and the drunken acting-out just amusing enough to make these Pretty Problems pretty cute and easy to sit through. |
| The Film StageJohn FinkPretty Problems explores several interesting themes but never quite knows what to make of Jack and Lindsay, their new friends, or the help that enables them. It feels conceived from within its own bubble, where money can in fact buy you almost anything you want except for a sense of fulfillment if you don’t know exactly what’s desired. |
| The New York TimesManohla DargisAn overlong, undercooked comedy of manners about how, yes, indeed the rich are different. |
