Washington Post

Oct 1, 2015

While director Jamie Babbit, who cut her teeth on indie comedies, is an equal- opportunity offender, some jokes land better than others. Still, strong lead performances and an energetic supporting cast elevate the uneven material.

Oct 2, 2015

Greer and Lyonne play off each other well; the combination of readily corruptible innocence and reluctantly innocent corruption elevate the material. Their badinage and interactions suggest a genuine sisterly relationship, with a long history of resentments, betrayals, and co-dependence. Too bad the filmmakers try too hard at making you laugh, and not hard enough at making you feel.

Still, you find yourself rooting for these women, even if their adventures aren’t always up to snuff.

By Marjorie Baumgarten FULL REVIEW

Sep 27, 2015

The film's larger points essentially fall by the wayside in the name of black comedy that's largely without genuine edge.

You can get away with this sort of thing if your humor is sharp, but here it’s mostly sophomoric and rarely surprising.

By Neil Genzlinger FULL REVIEW

Sep 3, 2015

A mean-spirited farce whose strenuous bad taste seldom translates into actual laughs.

By Dennis Harvey FULL REVIEW

Oct 2, 2015

Addicted to Fresno is such a mean-spirited, dull and silly movie that it buries its talented cast under the weight of a horrendous script that they can’t possibly redeem.
