Leave your thoughts about Slow Learners.
| Cleveland Plain DealerClint O'ConnorAdam Pally (The Mindy Project) and Sarah Burns (Enlightened) are good company and well-versed in dual deadpan delivery. |
| The New York TimesDaniel M. GoldOnly a few scenes fail to draw laughs in a movie that’s unexpectedly smart and consistently amusing. |
| Seattle TimesTom KeoghThe film's brisk energy, witty visuals and sharp supporting cast (including Kevin Dunn and "Saturday Night Live's" Bobby Moynihan) together push an appealing but thin story idea over the finish line. |
| HeraldNet (Everett, WA)Robert HortonAlthough it is difficult to believe that the people on screen would actually do the things they do, the movie is undeniably funny. |
| Movie NationRoger MooreNobody saw it last summer. And Hollywood isn’t beating down the cast’s collectives doors. Yet. But these Slow Learners catch on just in time to be the best cheap date movie for Valentine’s Day. |
| New York Daily NewsEddie GoldbergerEven if this movie isn’t fresh, it’s often amusing. |
| Los Angeles TimesMichael RechtshaffenBeing big on improvisation doesn't necessarily mine nuggets of comic brilliance, and there are times you wish Argott and Joyce would have adhered more closely to the Matt Serword-penned script. |
| Village VoiceAbbey BenderWhile it has a few funny moments (including the uncomfortable date that begins the film), Slow Learners mostly feels like a collection of exaggerated performances of drunkenness and mean-spiritedness that leads to a very predictable end. |
| San Diego ReaderMatthew LickonaWhile it's true that many of the scenes would be hard to perform without breaking into laughter, it's often difficult to share in the mirth. Call it hermetically sealed humor. |
| User ReviewRobby fThis movie is hysterical!!! Very relatable. All around well-done. |
