What to Know

Critics Consensus

June Diane Raphael and Casey Wilson are sharp comedic performers, but their co-written script gives them little to work with in this meandering farce.

Justin Lowe The Hollywood Reporter Apr 27, 2020
Ill-advised and amateurishly executed, Ass Backwards begins with a passably funny concept and runs it into the ground within 20 minutes. Go to Full Review

2.5/4
As with any kind of episodic or sketch comedy, some gags land more effectively than others, although you'll likely find a line or a beat or an image that makes you laugh from start to finish. Go to Full Review
Neil Genzlinger New York Times Nov 7, 2013
The road adventures they have along the way aren't funny, and once they reach the pageant, the comic payoff you're hoping for never materializes. Go to Full Review

1/5
The movie's one joke is that they don't quite realize how pathetic they are. This kind of joke could work if the characters were charming and had the ability to win over other characters, but these women remain stupid and annoying throughout. Go to Full Review
Matt Patches Hollywood.com Apr 27, 2020

3.4/10
With a script so painfully unfunny it's hard to imagine that Raphael and Wilson (who got some of their funding for the film through Kickstarter) never had anyone tell them they were working with absolute dreck. Go to Full Review
