"Humor Me" manages to earn its audience's indulgence, if never its full affection. Go to Full Review

1.5/4
The kind of lame, unimaginative comedy that constantly takes cheap shots at elderly characters, and then turns on a dime and begs you to see the humanity in them. Go to Full Review

6/10
Though a bit light on laughs and emotional weight, Humor Me is a solid, heartfelt, and entertaining film. Go to Full Review
Steven Prokopy Third Coast Review Jun 2, 2020
A largely serviceable, often quite amusing, piece that refuses to pander or ridicule outright. Go to Full Review
Debbie Lynn Elias Behind The Lens Oct 30, 2019
Showing great confidence in storytelling as a director, [Sam] Hoffman calls on the best of the best [actors]... while he taps cinematographer Seamus Tierney to maintain a light, bright visual palette complementing the humor at hand. Go to Full Review

Ron L Jul 2, 2018 Elliot Gould is having great fun in this very watchable movie.
Theodore S Jul 1, 2018 Believable, touching performances. My husband noted that some plot points were very predictable, but we agreed when the acting, dialogue, and story are good, that doesn't matter. I liked that the older people were real, multidimensional characters, not just gags. There were some genuinely funny moments, though for me (and presumably many people of my generation and younger), the laughs were not in response to the specific borscht belt-type Jokes sprinkled throughout the script and generally voiced by Elliot Gould...on the other hand, I can only assume my dad (and any of his friends) would guffaw at those if/when this gets wider release, but I imagine it will, and I would recommend it to viewers of pretty much all ages. On a side note, I am a Jemaine Clement fan regardless, but glad to say his accent was good. It was also a treat to see Annie Potts again. See more
Luke R May 21, 2018 Cute movie, nothing new here.
Luke R May 1, 2018 I liked the idea of it but the story was too goofy for me. Never really went anywhere.
Apr 29, 2018 Good movie filmed in Staten Island at the Tides.
Draco M Apr 27, 2018 Cute, and the last 30% was funny. But, the first 40% was just a boring setup of how the anti-hero was man-as-failure, and the entire movie was an Apple commercial, complete with a mendacious presentation of how well the Apple version of video meeting is supposed to work.
