Mark Cassidy of comicbookmovie.com wrote, “If you examine your cynicism on the door, you would possibly end up swayed by the movie. [Reitman] Clearly able to ship: a love letter to an ’80s traditional, and a strong tribute to misplaced associates.

The Washington Post’s Michael O’Sullivan took a jibe on the movie. He wrote, “While brazenly catering to fans of the original film, while giving them nothing new, its story and humor are also inexplicably calibrated for those much younger than those who made the first film.” Saw the film.”

Megan Navarro of Bloody Disgusting stated the director “gives a salute to the past, more successful as a poignant tribute than an original pathos.”

ScreenCrush’s Matt Singer dismissed the movie, saying, “The whole movie is basically Leonardo DiCaprio alluding to a 125-minute straight TV meme.”

Jake Cole of Slant Magazine wrote, “Although utterly flattering, the film is ironically removed from the allure of the revered original.”
