New York Daily News

Oct 6, 2016

While The Late Bloomer comes to a bit too wrapped-up-in-a-bow resolution, it's still a refreshing reminder of just how pervasive sex is and how much it plays a role in everyone's lives.

Oct 5, 2016

Though Pollak's direction in his first narrative feature is solid, The Late Bloomer is mostly an excuse for predictable sex jokes and ample toplessness.

The New York Times

Oct 6, 2016

To make the premise of a 30-year-old who acts like a 15-year-old work, Mr. Pollak has made everyone else in the film act like a 15-year-old, too. It doesn’t quite click.

By Neil Genzlinger FULL REVIEW

Los Angeles Times

Oct 6, 2016

Even a talented cast can’t overcome the script from five screenwriters, whose uneven final product is surprisingly bland for all its raunchiness.

By Kimber Myers FULL REVIEW

Sep 27, 2016

Stand-up comic, impressionist and actor Kevin Pollack steps behind the camera for The Late Bloomer, a sweet-spirited if slightly rude rom com masquerading as a sex comedy.

By Roger Moore FULL REVIEW

The Hollywood Reporter

Oct 14, 2016

Lead actor Johnny Simmons fits his role perfectly, his baby face giving him the suitable appearance of an overgrown adolescent. But the smutty, tired material with which he has to work is surprisingly devoid of laughs.

By Frank Scheck FULL REVIEW

Oct 7, 2016

Kevin Pollak's raunchy comedy The Late Bloomer is merely cheesy and horny, but rarely amusing.
