Leave your thoughts about Stuber.
| VarietyPeter DebrugeIt’s both funny and familiar to see these two incredibly different personalities thrust together for what’s meant to be a short ride. [SXSW work-in-progress review] |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperNanjiani and Bautista are terrific together, but Stuber also benefits from a quartet of wonderful actresses who are all effective despite limited screen time. |
| Entertainment WeeklyLeah GreenblattTo be clear, Stuber is a very silly movie: Half the action scenes look like they were shot inside a Cuisinart, the sexual politics are questionable, the violence cartoonishly extreme, and the plot has the general coherence of a wet napkin. But Stuber knows that sense and logic aren’t what its audience came for; we’re here for good dumb fun — and of course, central air. |
| IndieWireDavid EhrlichThis silly trifle might not stand the test of time, or even be remembered by the time you get home, but it gets you where you’re going with a smile on your face. |
| The Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeThe naggy tension between the leads turns into a fine chemistry. [SXSW work-in-progress review] |
| Film ThreatAlan NgUnfortunately, Stuber never rises to the point of being remarkable in any way. You’ll love it, if you are a fan of either lead, otherwise, it’s a standard buddy movie. |
| Arizona RepublicBill GoodykoontzNanjiani is kind of like Bill Murray. There's just something about him that makes you anticipate something funny coming, if not now, soon, so why not start laughing? I don't know whether it would work in just any film, but here he's such an oasis of intelligence in a desert of comedic stupidity that I'd like to see if it would. |
| The Globe and Mail (Toronto)David BerryThe action half of the action-comedy tends to lean more towards slapstick than shoot-’em-up, even when heads are exploding, and while it’s capably handled, the movie is at its best when its two leads are bickering in the car. Stuber is probably the only ride share where talking should be strongly encouraged. |
| New York PostSara StewartAction flick machismo suffers an identity crisis in Stuber. |
| Consequence of SoundDan CaffreyIt’s refreshing to see a buddy movie reclaim some of the grit and emotional connection of bygone decades, but for all of its killer fight sequences and shootouts, Stuber just isn’t all that funny after a while. |
