Gail Daughtry and the Celebrity Sex Pass is best understood as a basket of jokes and non sequiturs that simply need some kind of framework to keep things semi-coherent. That’s a compliment, of course, as these are very, very funny jokes. Read full review

The Film StageKent M. WilhelmFeb 5, 2026
As the world continues fermenting its vile culture, the gang behind The State and Wet Hot American Summer is back to save you from the merciless onslaught of bad news. At least for 90 minutes. Read full review

VarietyOwen GleibermanJan 28, 2026
Gail Daughtry and the Celebrity Sex Pass is a flagrant concoction that wants to do nothing more than make you laugh, and at that it succeeds. Yet in its way, there’s a bit of a vision to it. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterRichard LawsonJan 28, 2026
Both goofy and edgy, the film may not land every punchline, but it satisfies in visceral, pleasurable ways that a more sophisticated comedy could not. Read full review

ColliderRoss BonaimeJan 30, 2026
Gail Daughtry and the Celebrity Sex Pass is as unhinged as the name implies, and it’s exactly what we’d want from Wain and Marino. These two have proven that their brand of comedy hasn’t gotten old over the decades, and thank goodness they’re back making the most insane movie comedies out there. Read full review

TheWrapMatt DonatoJan 28, 2026
It’s an unexpected commentary on filmmaking that layers metatextual zingers into its unbelievable rom-com intentions, somehow delivering what the title promises and more. In terms of mainstream comedies, we’re not in Kansas anymore—and that’s a win for Wain’s collective. Read full review

The GuardianBenjamin LeeJan 28, 2026
It succeeds in fits and starts – I laughed more than I have at many a comedy in the past year – but its wild, scattershot humour is so hit and miss, too many jokes going nowhere, that it’s not quite the rousing win I wanted it to be. Read full review

The PlaylistMarshall ShafferJan 28, 2026
Even the most hair-brained of Wain’s films have some quality elements, and Gail Daughtry and the Celebrity Sex Pass is certainly no exception to that rule. But it’s nevertheless a slight disappointment to see a luminary operating at the lower end of his power and promise. Read full review

There’s not much to latch onto here except the faint flickers of the better film this one, with more care and attention to detail, might have been. Read full review

Next Best PictureCody DericksJan 28, 2026
The jokes are plentiful in quantity but certainly not in quality, and the shiny, cheap-looking filmmaking itself doesn’t make it any easier on the eyes than it is on the ears. And while it certainly has a heart, thanks in huge part to the talented ensemble of funny performers, it doesn’t have the brains or the nerve to be clever or daring in its comedy. Read full review

Screen DailyAmber WilkinsonJan 28, 2026
The flimsy narrative just about holds together but the jokes, while plentiful, often feel like rehashes of something the Zucker Brothers did better decades ago. Read full review
