The Binge Movie Reviews
The Binge gets pretty negative reviews. Here is a sample of what film critics say:
New York Times: “Here’s a comparison to math in the third period: Take Superbad, Booksmart, and, hell, every movie for boys’ parties, add in a useless overarching sense, draw all originality. The result is The Binge, a new Hulu original that is only exceptional in its sensational madness. “
AV Club: “Even the occasional funny line gets tired, because nothing in this movie happens for some real reason. The details that work to appear random, the big slapstick plot running, and the predetermined character arcs are all equally meaningless. “
CinemaBlend: “There are times when the film places the potential to be something special, a joke so funny that you have to pause so you don’t accidentally miss something important in the story. At other times, lines bomb so hard that you can hear everyone in the world not laugh. “
TV Guide: “It’s a low-stakes hangout movie that delivers some fun and a good time. It’s a perfect streaming late summer movie that works better at home on TV than in a theater.”
