Tony Hale took neurotic brilliance to the next level on Arrested Development and then Veep, and he’s squarely in his comfort zone playing another cringe-inducing, socially awkward and hilariously tone-deaf character in the offbeat charmer Eat Wheaties!, one of the most endearing movies about light stalking you’ll ever see.

Despite its unique premise, Eat Wheaties! is easy to embrace. Read full review

Possibly, Eat Wheaties! will age well, but at this point, there’s more cringe than comedy here. The character of Sid isn’t just endearingly awkward or amusingly fatuous, like Steve Carell’s Michael Scott in The Office. He’s just thickly insensitive. Read full review

The unappealingly named comedy Eat Wheaties! is a tedious exercise in patience that, like a bowl of soggy cereal, I would not recommend to anyone. Read full review

An unfortunate, unfunny mess. Read full review

Its content and execution are innocuous to the point of tedium, while the protagonist is no undervalued sweetie but the kind of grating personality that can clear a room. Read full review

A clever and thoughtful script with a clear direction of an upbeat attitude sprinkled throughout the film. After a long and seemingly never ending year that we've had, Eat Wheaties! is exactly what the doctor ordered. I'll have a second bowl of this please!

A refreshing hilarious film with an incredible cast and a bunch of heart. Even made me tear up at the end. Well worth it.
