Boston GlobeTom RussoMar 1, 2013
Among the ingredients “21” is missing: the infectiously random silliness of a Zach Galifianakis, the smug hunkiness of a Bradley Cooper, and any sort of Vegas-y gloss whatsoever. Read full review

Chicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperFeb 28, 2013
This is one of those 93-minute movies that seem about 88 minutes too long. Or not worth making in the first place. Read full review

USA TodayClaudia PuigFeb 28, 2013
Despite its collegiate setting, 21 and Over is pretty much for people with an IQ of 21 and under. Read full review

The PlaylistDrew TaylorMar 1, 2013
For a movie that tries to create and sustain a sensation of wild unpredictability, it's a huge failure. It's not shocking if we've all seen it a thousand times before. With 21 and Over, it's all been there, drank that. Read full review

Yes, surely for them, the lucky few and probable many, 21 and Over will be the Best Movie Ever. For the rest of us, though, it’s something of a chore. Read full review

The New York TimesNicole HerringtonMar 1, 2013
The movie’s humor — at the expense of Asians, Latinas and even Serbs — comes off just as tone deaf and random as Seth MacFarlane’s Oscar-night shenanigans. Read full review

New York Daily NewsElizabeth WeitzmanMar 1, 2013
How ironic (depressing? predictable?) that the week after we celebrate the best in movies, we are force-fed its very worst. 21 & Over is filmmaking by formula, and evidence of Hollywood’s assumption that appealing to viewers’ basest instincts will always pay off. Read full review

Just because your comedy is dumb doesn’t mean it’s funny. Read full review

Slant MagazineAndrew SchenkerFeb 28, 2013
By the dictates of the boys-will-be-boys party genre, 21 and Over is so tame that it barely manages to even be offensive. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesMark OlsenFeb 28, 2013
This is a movie that celebrates selfishness, stupidity and the mean-spirited insensitivity that goes along with it. We're better than this, America. Read full review
