What to Know

Critics Consensus

A fiendishly goofy premise, strong performances, and a strong dose of winkingly meta humor help Vicious Fun deliver on its title.

While the makers of Vicious Fun want you to award them points for being light, but also serious enough, their villains (and therefore their biggest ideas) simply aren't gross and/or woke enough to be memorable. Go to Full Review

Impish if flyweight entertainment. Go to Full Review
Serena Seghedoni Loud and Clear Reviews Sep 18, 2023
4/5

Terry Staunton Radio Times Aug 12, 2021
3/5
