Wall Street JournalKyle SmithAug 19, 2022
Though very funny at times, and refreshing in the way it keeps us guessing, Spin Me Round is only partially successful. Read full review

The result is a movie that’s fun in spots — a good dish here and there, you might say — that doesn’t add up to a fully satisfying meal. Read full review

As unnecessarily intricate and eyebrow-raising as the story might be, "Spin Me Round" at least feels original — it's never boring, and what unfolds is admirably entertaining enough that it's hard to downright dislike. But not unlike the Italian "cuisine" of Tuscan Grove, it still leaves something to be desired.  Read More: https://www.slashfilm.com/796873/spin-me-round-review-alison-brie-gets-embroiled-in-a-meandering-but-entertaining-comedic-thriller-sxsw/?utm_campaign=clip Read full review

Ambiguous, open-ended storytelling is by no means a defect in its own right, but Spin Me Round becomes increasingly frustrating in its tendency to introduce narrative tangents without any intention to elaborate or connect them. Read full review

Film ThreatJason DelgadoAug 22, 2022
I adore Plaza as a unique and magnetic actor, but she wasn’t given enough to work with here. Likewise, for the usual affable yet conflicted characters that Brie is so good at portraying, there’s not enough meat on the bones of the role here for her to sink her teeth into. Spin Me Round is like going out to dinner and expecting an authentic Italian restaurant but instead ending up at the Olive Garden. Read full review

The entire film feels like an exercise in dashing expectations, for both our heroine and the audience. Read full review

Cleansed of all risk and personality, Spin Me Round subsides, as though with a sigh, into the reheated sauce of mediocrity. Read full review

The A.V. ClubMark KeizerAug 17, 2022
Spin Me Round is a nice-try attempt at a shapeshifting, fish-out-of-water rom-com that was probably funny in the room—but in the end, it doesn’t quite come together as a movie. Read full review

Movie NationRoger MooreAug 16, 2022
If you’re patient enough to stick around for the wilder third act, Spin Me Round kind of turns things around. Not quite enough, but close. Read full review

Screen RantMae AbdulbakiMar 18, 2022
As it stands, however, Spin Me Round is all over the place and even its best moments can’t be saved due to a muddled storyline and lack of character development. Read full review

The PlaylistMarya E. GatesMar 18, 2022
Ultimately Spin Me Round is like a bad vacation where even the gorgeous Italian seaside isn’t enough to make the time spent feel worth it. Read full review
