The New York TimesNicolas RapoldFeb 12, 2015
The gloriously scabrous ending to it all leaves the viewer wishing this talented writer had let it rip earlier. Read full review

Village VoiceAmy NicholsonFeb 10, 2015
Cross, who also wrote the script, is content to come across like a grumpy old man. His comedy is one-note, furious, and fun-enough. Read full review

The A.V. ClubJesse HassengerFeb 12, 2015
The satire of self-satisfied, opportunistic Brooklynites is cutting, but it lacks the humanity afforded the upstate characters, and quickly repeats itself, seemingly by design. Read full review

Movie NationRoger MooreMar 27, 2018
The problem with rounding up every comic friend you can think of to make a movie is that virtually none of them see their characters properly served. Everybody — everybody funny anyway — gets short shrift. Read full review

There's a slightly lurching quality to the way things play out here, like Cross knew what he wanted to do, but he wasn't committed enough to any of the characters to make them more than the joke. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinFeb 12, 2015
Unfortunately, by the end, thanks to a misguided use of a few offensive slurs against gays and African Americans, the whole thing turns needlessly ugly, undermining the goodwill Cross had mustered. Read full review

VarietyRob NelsonJan 8, 2015
The effort of sussing out this satire’s attitude seems silly for the fact that its jokes just aren’t funny enough. Read full review

The DissolveCharles BramescoFeb 12, 2015
Cross gathers a lot of narrative strands and elegantly knots them during a big, farcical climax. But that’s the one aspect of the film that truly works as it should. Just about every other element of Hits, from its eagerness to snigger at the expense of small-town yokels to its sneering disdain for the common-rabble forum YouTube, leaves a sour taste.
