Two sisters (Natasha Lyonne, Judy Greer) stage a cover-up when one accidentally kills a guest at the hotel where they work as maids.

Critics Consensus

While Greer and Lyonne's sisterly chemistry carries Addicted to Fresno, it's not enough to overlook the script's missteps in humor and levity.

The movie is a barrel of laughs, and the cast is chock full of comedy royalty.

Greer's character ultimately gives the audience too little to root for.

2/5

Naff jokes about rape, the Holocaust, and the wretchedness of Fresno leave laughter in short supply as the shrieky action pinballs self-consciously from barmitzvahs to pet cemeteries.

The product as a whole is reasonably entertaining during its run time, and certainly has its fair share of chuckles thanks to its pissy leading ladies, but 'Addicted to Fresno' is mostly unmemorable in the grand scheme of things.

5.5/10

The sisterly bond at the center winds up resonating the most, but it seems problematic when the most memorable parts of a comedy are the unfunny parts.

2/5

Often ridiculous, the film has a lot of ingredients but lacks the right recipe.

I am amazed at these reviews... but not really when I consider these same meatheads probably elected Trump. This is a very funny, very raunchy comedy with a great cast of character comedians and actors. I mean superior comedy- 4 stars!

Nowhere near as good as But I'm A Cheerleader but still enjoyable. The perfect balance of adorable and deplorable makes for a consistently funny good time. Also it needed more Aubrey Plaza simply because she is awesome.

Addicted to Fresno tells the story of the tattered relationship between two sisters. Shannon (Judy Greer) is a sex addict who, despite being the older sister, is the one with her life in shambles. Martha (Natasha Lyonne) is the more responsible one, who lands Shannon a job with her as a hotel maid. Shannon's fresh start is thrown for a loop when she accidentally kills a guest she has sex with and they must find a way to cover up the murder. It's a premise with the potential for fun shenanigans and has the benefit of a strong cast that also includes Aubrey Plaza, Ron Livingston, Fred Armisen and Molly Shannon. Yet, despite all that, it's not very funny. There are a few moments that legitimately made me laugh, but far too little. The film also suffers from Shannon not being a lead that audiences want to root for. By the time Martha finally admits she's done with her sister, I didn't feel any kind of mixed emotion. It was more like, "it's about time, Martha." The performances by most of the cast help save a lackluster story and is the biggest reason to check this out. If you're not already a fan of some cast members, skip it.

I saw this on Hulu, and having moved to Fresno, thought I'd check it out. I was impressed by the cast list as I love Judy Greer and many other big names listed, and while the reviews were low I still gave it a shot. The dark humor and situational drama were actually quite entertaining. Most movies with a rating this low, about twenty minutes in will reveal why the low rating. This movie kept me captive the whole time and made me laugh out loud a few times. I don't know why it's rated so low, it's actually a solid and funny film.
