It’s not that “Incoming” lacks originality, necessarily, but rather that it goes through the motions in a fairly lackluster fashion.

This movie's great. It was great in 1976, in 1981, and kids who like these kinds of movies are going to love this movie.

It’s a movie so thoroughly bland and mediocre that the zing of Miracle Whip could crush it.

It felt like they took every 1980's comedy trope & tried to stuff it into this movie and threw in a sprinkle of Superbad along the way. It's not funny and you've seen it before.

Incoming is unfortunately a dissatisfing addition to Netflix's catalogue of high school comedies. It struggles to find its footing, relying too heavily on things we've already seen before...

While it's possible to forgive the film's puerile mess of scatological humour, Incoming's creepy misogyny simply doesn't belong...

Unfunny teen comedy.

The end result just isn't as funny or as risqué as it hopes.

Not every movie asks for much, and this one is indeed full of a lot of dumb stuff. That said, it had a few laughs I appreciated.

Eddie and Connor are the highlight of the film as they get caught up in chaos alongside the most popular girl in school. Raunchy and hilarious, Incoming is anchored by a solid main cast as they learn one night can change everything.

[T]he Chernins’ film is one that neither panders in an overtly preachy manner, nor lets its players off the hook easily. In this raunchy little escapade, actions have consequences.

This raunchy high school drama has its moments...definitely qualifies as a guilty pleasure.

Chris Gallardo Tell-Tale TV Aug 26, 2024 3.5/5
Even though it may have the usual genre elements and follow traditional narrative points, this film stands out with so many things that just click together. For example, Incoming‘s charming main cast simply brings this film’s joy to life.

Incoming isn't the next Superbad — it's just super bad.

An 81-minute knockoff preaching the importance of being yourself while doing nothing to forge an identity of its own.

Jason Flatt But Why Tho? Aug 24, 2024 2.5/10
Maybe this movie would have been fine in the Superbad era. But today? It’s just offensive. It’s not funny, and depicting high school like this is not okay.

Some of the things people do in the cheerfully gross movie range from morally questionable to flat-out criminal.

John Serba Decider Aug 23, 2024
There are a few instances of viable comedy – a clever line here, a passing bit there – but ultimately, the laugh-to-nausea ratio is way out of whack.

Adrian Horton Guardian Aug 23, 2024 2/5
Though Incoming has a decent handle on the raucous momentum of a high school party and the crass dialect of freshman boys, the film has the consistently distracting sheen of a made-for-streaming film, making for cheap comparison to its inspirations.

J. Kim Murphy Variety Aug 23, 2024
The Chernins manage a jaunty pace that energizes these familiar ingredients, more in the gag department than in the film’s superficial dramatic components.
