Entertainment WeeklyOwen Gleiberman
It's a minimalist "Sideways," not so much mumblecore as talkycore. Read full review

Douchebag has the intensity and taut circularity of a short story told with economy and style. Read full review

Philadelphia InquirerSteven ReaOct 28, 2010
Mostly, Doremus' movie rings true, as some truly jerky behavior ensues. Read full review

New York PostKyle Smith
Douchebag belies its abrasive title with a soft touch for two wobbly souls. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterJohn DeFore
A clever DIY comedy that could be this year's "Humpday" for art house audiences in search of characters they recognize from their own lives. Read full review

New York Daily NewsJoe Neumaier
The rhythms of this comedy-drama may be familiar, but besides its fratty title, it's surprisingly sophisticated. Read full review

Time OutKeith Uhlich
The film never entirely overcomes the sense that it's a calling-card vehicle. Read full review

VarietyJustin Chang
Dickler's acting debut is memorably repellent, even if the movie he's in -- a fitfully engaging story about two estranged brothers on a road trip -- often feels forced and unconvincing, even on its modest, intimately scaled terms Read full review

Los Angeles TimesGary Goldstein
This underdeveloped, lackluster glance at brotherhood practically demands a response of "Is that all there is?" at its 70-minute fadeout. Read full review

The New York TimesA.O. Scott
The title may be mildly provocative in its vulgarity, but the most striking feature of this movie is its dullness. Read full review
