McClatchy-Tribune News ServiceRoger MooreJan 28, 2014
The saving grace of this more-rude-than-funny film are its cast. They’re just a quartet of Simi Valley “Woohooo” girls in the opening, but the players make each member of this motley crew distinct, human and out of her depth. And Janet (Flanagan)? You’ll want to party with her. Read full review

Nearly every one of the film’s attempts at comedy is clichéd, tasteless, or forced—sometimes all three at once. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckJan 30, 2014
This witless found-footage comedy — doesn’t so much satirize its chosen genre as shamelessly rip it off. Read full review

The A.V. ClubIgnatiy VishnevetskyJan 29, 2014
Likely to be appreciated only by homeless viewers who need a quiet place to nap during the cold months of winter, the movie has more awkward dead space than jokes. Read full review
