Instead of bouncy banter we get interminable repetitions of the same line back and forth, with different inflections, as though we’re watching some ungodly riff on the Abbott & Costello “Who’s on First?” sketch, minus the actual wordplay.

You won’t be howling over Wolfs, a subpar megawattage buddy action-comedy with grumpy glamourpuss Hollywood hunks and a rudimentary sense of after-hours mischief.

There’s a metatextual commentary on the stars reaching sixty candles that made me enjoy [Clooney and Pitt's] playfulness even more.

An idea without any follow-through -- it’s like someone pitched a compelling tagline in a meeting and forgot to fill it out with any actual ideas after the fact. It’s big-budget filmmaking at its most vacant.

Clooney and Pitt are savvy movie studs who know how to share a room and not drain all the oxygen, unlike The Rock and Vin Diesel. The classy duo can roast each other and create raw comedy out of simple dialogue exchanges.

Wolfs takes us on a whirlwind ride that is in no way groundbreaking but is wonderfully invigorating with a few cool twists thrown in. And the banter between Clooney and Pitt is clever, often hilarious, and sometimes poignant.

Wolfs wants to be a Dad Movie but isn't kinetic or funny or violent enough to qualify. Speaking as a father myself, I'm not mad, just disappointed.

Not every film needs to be groundbreaking to entertain, and this lazy comedy thriller embraces that notion. The major thing the movie has going for it is the fact that Clooney and Pitt are inherently watchable.

Wolfs is pleasant and entertaining, and when it could get maudlin or sentimental, a joke paves the way out. [Full review in Spanish]

Clooney and Pitt are a clash of the titans. Their dynamic duo chemistry makes this movie more than it is.

Director Jon Watts sets his scenes well and lets Pitt and Clooney work together while the other actors come and go.

Wolfs is clumsy, overly formulaic, and incompetently lazy, following a banal, unoriginal plot weighed down by cheesy dialogue and underbaked story elements.

Relies too heavily on the natural charisma of his leads, who settle into a familiar rhythm that starts to get tired when the movie runs out of plot

A forgettable star vehicle, whose slight premise and slight comedy never gets off the ground.

While the movie still entertains, the third act revolves around a twist that depends on a dramatic depth that “Wolfs” simply does not possess. [Full review in Spanish]

While their characters’ mistrust and contempt for each other offers up plenty of opportunities for crowd-pleasing bickering and bantering, there are times when it feels like they’re shooting a combined ad for their rival coffee machine companies.

Loved seeing the banter between these two [Pitt & Clooney] and their bromance chemistry that runs on all cylinders. However, the movie surrounding them is not particularly interesting and it creaks along.

The thorny plot twists of Wolfs may not stand up to close scrutiny, but viewer doubts probably won’t kick in until after the final credits. For the most part the flick is just plain fun.
