Chicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperJan 14, 2016
This is a cheeky, madcap romp, with exaggerated views of 1960s American stereotypes about Brits and vice versa, featuring terrific performances by Perlman and Grint, a most unlikely and most likable buddy duo. Read full review

Slant MagazineChuck BowenJan 10, 2016
The whole isn't greater than the sum of its parts, but the various detours coalesce into an amusing wannabe-cult curio. Read full review

Village VoiceSimon AbramsJan 12, 2016
Nothing in Moonwalkers matches Perlman's performance, but he frequently elevates desperate-to-please gags to stoner-comedy greatness. Read full review

Austin ChronicleJosh KupeckiJan 13, 2016
Moonwalkers blends a strange mélange of Swinging Sixties, drug-addled humor with that slow-motion, gangster gunplay that Guy Ritchie trademarked in his early work. Read full review

The A.V. ClubIgnatiy VishnevetskyJan 13, 2016
By the umpteenth scene where the “joke” is that one of the characters is on drugs, the movie’s strained wackiness becomes wearisome. Read full review

The PlaylistOktay Ege Kozak Jan 12, 2016
Moonwalkers takes a brilliant idea and runs it to the ground thanks to a confused and illogical screenplay, an atonal execution, and a bizarre addiction to Tarantino-level gleeful ultra-violence awkwardly crammed into what was obviously supposed to be a biting satire. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesRobert AbeleJan 14, 2016
A famously crackpot conspiracy theory, psychedelic humor and arty ultraviolence make for dreary bedfellows in the scattershot British comedy Moonwalkers. Read full review

The New York TimesNeil GenzlingerJan 14, 2016
Though Mr. Grint and Mr. Perlman both come off credibly, the movie is practically laugh-free. Read full review

Washington PostMichael O'SullivanJan 14, 2016
Neither Grint nor the hoax subplot are compelling enough to hold our attention. Perlman, on the other hand, is a commanding, if peripheral, presence, diverting the focus of the film from silly historical speculation to the tale of a damaged psyche. Read full review

New York Daily NewsStephen Whitty Jan 13, 2016
Moonwalkers is supposedly a comedy. So its clever conspiracy quickly goes disastrously wrong. Read full review
