Convinced that his buddy Nardo (Thomas Middleditch) is making the mistake of a lifetime by marrying Tracy (Shannon Woodward), Jason (T.J. Miller) puts a dramatic end to their wedding. When the furious bride decides to take her Baja honeymoon solo, Nardo follows her-where the lovesick groom is carjacked and left stranded, naked and penniless in a remote part of the Mexican desert. Helpless, Nardo sends out an SOS to Jason and their pal Evan (Adam Pally), an up-and-coming ad exec slated for an important business meeting the next morning. During their ridiculous attempt to rescue Nardo, the trio embarks on a series of increasingly outrageous misadventures involving con artists, drug smugglers and even the Federales.
Leave your thoughts about Search Party.
| The PlaylistOliver LytteltonGiven how good the cast often are elsewhere, it doesn’t seem unfair to put this at Armstrong’s door, and the film has a very first-time-director feel to it. |
| indieWireDavid EhrlichThis is safe, hyper-conventional stuff, lazy enough to make you feel bad that Middleditch had to free willy for it. The best thing you can say about the movie is that men have taken their pants off for less. |
| HeyUGuysAndrew JonesIt's nasty and icky and vile and vulgar and hysterical, the last half hour is especially sublime stuff. |
| Los Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinThis spectacularly dumb and unfunny film will likely bore even the staunchest fans of the “Hangover” movies, of which “Search” is a kind of distant, fatally impoverished cousin. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzIt's the kind of comedy where being stoned might be the best way to indulge in its hi-jinks. |
| Blu-ray.comBrian Orndorf"Search Party" isn't completely without laughs, but a toxic cloud of sameness hangs over the feature, which wheezes from incident to incident, failing to build momentum through limp shock value. |
| The Film StageMichael SnydelThis is the type of comedy where the flop sweat is nearly always present as each player tries to lift the comedy, only to tragically belly-flop over and over. No one here is phoning it in, but with material this bad, it would be hard to blame them. |
| GuardianMike McCahillThese films were always down on women – Armstrong squanders the peerless Krysten Ritter as eye candy – but this slovenly runaround only exposes the low opinion they’ve harboured of their target male demographic. We’re meant to identify with them? |
| Times (UK)Wendy IdeScot Armstrong, one of the writers of The Hangover Part II, makes his directorial debut with a film that borrows large chunks of the plot from The Hangover part one. |
| Radio TimesJames LuxfordUltimately, charm is not enough to gloss over the clichéd story, which may entertain for the short running time, but is about seven years too late to take anyone by surprise. |
