Meghan (Elizabeth Banks) is an aspiring news anchor in the cutthroat world of Los Angeles television. After an audition for her dream job ends in failure, she goes out for an uncharacteristic night of partying. The next morning, she awakes in a stranger's bed and hears a phone message from her agent telling her the job is hers if she can make it across town by 5:00 pm. Stranded in an unknown area without money, phone or transportation, she races to the most important interview of her life.

Critics Consensus

Incoherent, unfunny, and borderline misogynist, Walk of Shame lives up to its title for filmgoers entering and leaving the theater.

This isn't as hateful as, say, The Other Woman. The concept's a little higher and the humiliation more cosmic.

1.5/5

The dire new comedy Walk Of Shame offers itself as a gender-reversed After Hours[...] It's a clever conceit,[...] If only it weren't so desperately unfunny.

An unintended nightmare scenario for women in Hollywood, and the persistent humiliation required just to get noticed.

0.5/5

Brill phenomenally wastes the proven comedic chops of Banks, Gillian Jacobs (“Community,” 2009-present), and Sarah Wright (“Celeste and Jesse Forever,” 2012) toward jokes without timing, a punchline, or even chuckle-worthy insight.

3/5

Silly, but weirdly satisfying.

The opening-credit montage featuring real-life news bloopers is funnier than anything in the script.

cringe worthy movie that you just want to skip to the end half way through the movie. Spoiler alert - you may lose some brain cells.

Elizabeth Banks is funny and bright in this comedy. While some have said the movie is unfunny,Â? the timing is great, the actors have great chemistry, and it genuinely kept me and my friends interested. People are way too harsh on this movie for no reason.

Watch of shame. This is my thesis for the film. Meaghan sure has miles of stupidity and stealing a young kids bike. Really?!!

Watched this with my girlfriend, it actually looked alright. It's your classic adventure film, where the main protagonist has a destination, and finds 101 different issues and distractions on the way. It isn't anything special, but gave me a few good laughs. The story actually surprised me, it wasn't necessarily unique, or original but it had some entertaining moments. I wouldn't recommend it highly, there's hundreds of films with a similar plot that do it better.
