This is a raucous, happily irresponsible party that should help locked-in, bottled-up Americans release some steam. The only downside to its being released when we need laughs so desperately is that this is just the kind of pic that becomes several times as funny when seen in a packed theater. Read full review

Of course with this kind of film, not every joke lands. You’re hoping for a good proportion — more hits than misses. The ratio isn’t quite as high as you’d like with The Binge, but it’s close enough. Read full review

A tedious and only occasionally amusing comedic riff on “The Purge” franchise. Read full review

The whole affair is just nuts, staggeringly irresponsible. Read full review

Take the “smart” out of “Booksmart,” the “super” out of “Superbad” and the edge out of “The Purge,” and you get the Hulu movie The Binge, one of the worst comedies of this or any other year, notable only because it features what might just be the most terrible performance in Vince Vaughn’s up-and-down career, and I say that with no glee because I’m a Vince Vaughn guy.

Even the occasional funny line grows wearying, because nothing in this movie happens for any real reason. The details that labor to appear random, the big slapstick plot turns, and the predetermined character arcs are all equally meaningless, unchecked byproducts of filmmakers emptying their joke files with Superbad playing on a loop in the background.

Here’s an equation for third-period math: Take “Superbad,” “Booksmart,” and, hell, any teen-party movie, add in a useless overarching conceit, subtract all originality. The result is The Binge, a new Hulu original that is only exceptional in its mind-numbing inanity. Read full review

Low key one of the funniest movies I have seen in a minute. I'll probably watch it again. Cried from laughing.

Its only a 2 because Vince Vaughn is my dude. The story is stoopid makes no sense and has no character development. And the plot is extremely cartoonish without the funny.

Very stale high school drug use movie. Very corny and obnoxious and missing the comedy that earlier movies like this had. Why are people trying to make American Pie/Harold and Kumar/Van Wilder in 2020? This movie is really bad.
