This is what critics said:

“It’s hard to refer to Netflix’s latest romantic comedy Desperados like, well, a romantic comedy. It’s decidedly un-fun and lacks any real sense of romance. Despite the cast’s efforts, tough writing, muffled “humor” and ridiculous tone and ridiculous sets push the frontier of the cinema entirely, and not in a good way. It is an hour and 46 minutes of your life that you will never return. Instead, watch any of the movies that blatantly swindle that they are so much better: Bridesmaids, Perfect toneand 27 dresses they are a better use of your time. “
Robert Ebert
Remember the accidental email sequence in the wonderful work of Nancy Meyers The intern? To refresh your memory: Anne Hathaway’s overworked executive mistakenly sends a cruel email to her mother and authorizes a group of her employees to break into her mother’s house and delete the message before it is read. Now imagine that basic idea extended to become the premise of a full movie – the full 105 minutes of something you wish you had a smart and entertaining insight into contemporary love and friendship. That is more or less the essence of the LP director’s dying and smooth shot. Desperados, which is one of the most abysmal romantic comedies that emerged from this century. “

Maybe the audience will laugh at the commotion, and yes, when that giant CGI pink appendix emerged from the water and hit an incredulous Pedrad in its open mouth, I even blurted out a horn, but the comedy has to be more than just gags. cheap and rude that elicits a repulsive response. You have to have a heart. “
The New York Post
Suffice it to say that writer Ellen Rapoport is not Kristen Wiig. Nothing is very funny in her new movie. Desperados, but a lot is disgusting and / or stupid. “
Netflix
AV Club
“Let’s not judge SNL ‘s Nasim Pedrad too harsh to take the lead role in Desperados, a film that spends its overly long and painfully predictable 105 minutes burning the goodwill Netflix has amassed with its recent critically acclaimed series of romantic comedies. Still, the Mexican complex where much of the action takes place seems Really nice.”
The Guardian
“Falling in the middle of an unusually sparse summer season is DesperadosAnother mix of lascivious humor, feminine bonding, and vaguely recognizable actors that you liked about that thing you can’t completely remember. It’s flawed, sometimes frustratingly, but also fun enough for another drunken Friday night locked inside, its sun-drenched surroundings appealing and cruelly out of reach. “
Desperados It is now available to stream on Netflix.
