Gary Goldstein Los Angeles Times Nov 30, 2017
"A Bad Idea Gone Wrong" is like a decent late-night supper thrown together with random items from the back of the fridge and a cupboard or two. It can be a nice surprise, but show up too hungry and you might be left wanting. Go to Full Review
Joe Leydon Variety Nov 16, 2017
First-time filmmaker Jason Headley, directing from his own screenplay, keeps his concoction moving briskly and humorously, with a light sprinkling of acceptably sweet sentimentality here and there. Go to Full Review
Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter Mar 22, 2017
The screenplay consistently produces moments that induce chuckles, if not belly laughs. There's also just enough well-earned sentiment thrown in to provide a nice counterpoint to the farcical humor. Go to Full Review

4.5/10
A slightly entertaining, yet ultimately forgettable, affair. Go to Full Review
Alan Ng Film Threat Feb 26, 2018
2.5/5
Unfortunately, the film's situation and dialogue fail to push A Bad Idea Gone Wrong successfully across the finish line. It's situation just doesn't feel dangerous enough. Go to Full Review

B
This little would-be heist comedy proves an engaging trifle-nothing more than an extended sitcom, but a pretty good one. Go to Full Review

Hermione W Mar 29, 2018 Really bad. Not funny. Rarely will I not finish a movie, and I didn't finish this one.
Finn W Mar 1, 2018 It's funny enough for a viewing and even has a nice little love story to revolve around, but it's just too stupid to be called good. See more
Finn M Jan 8, 2018 I suggest a new title for the movie: "A Bad movie gone wrong". Actually I dunno how the movie ends, and where has it gone wrong, cause I havent watched it longer than 20 mins. It's a dumb american humor, only retards laugh to these jokes. There isnt much to talk about this movie, its stupid and boring, however one should be worried about 100% tomatometer, it's totally incomprehensible how this movie can get 100% rating. what is happening with this world?

Anakin L Jan 6, 2018 I came across this film knowing nothing about it and as such, I had no expectations. I am happy to say that it was a very enjoyable, light-hearted comedy with some emotional surprises thrown in the mix. It being an indie film makes it all the better. The plot is original and though predictable, a good one nonetheless. I recommend anyone who has an hour and a half on their hands to give this film a shot, it will not disappoint. See more
Abraham R Dec 9, 2017 Yeah it was entertaining. Wouldn't rave about it though.
Dec 6, 2017 It was so funny!!! So glad I got to see it.
