While The Late Bloomer comes to a bit too wrapped-up-in-a-bow resolution, it's still a refreshing reminder of just how pervasive sex is and how much it plays a role in everyone's lives. Read full review

Though Pollak's direction in his first narrative feature is solid, The Late Bloomer is mostly an excuse for predictable sex jokes and ample toplessness. Read full review

Even a talented cast can’t overcome the script from five screenwriters, whose uneven final product is surprisingly bland for all its raunchiness. Read full review

Neil Genzlinger

To make the premise of a 30-year-old who acts like a 15-year-old work, Mr. Pollak has made everyone else in the film act like a 15-year-old, too. It doesn’t quite click. Read full review

Stand-up comic, impressionist and actor Kevin Pollack steps behind the camera for The Late Bloomer, a sweet-spirited if slightly rude rom com masquerading as a sex comedy. Read full review

Lead actor Johnny Simmons fits his role perfectly, his baby face giving him the suitable appearance of an overgrown adolescent. But the smutty, tired material with which he has to work is surprisingly devoid of laughs. Read full review

Kevin Pollak's raunchy comedy The Late Bloomer is merely cheesy and horny, but rarely amusing. Read full review

We've seen this movie many times before, but I suppose it is charming enough to work as something you can play in the background while you're working on a business/school project.

A very bad and really ugly movie. It was a completely insulting and ridiculous movie that wanted to force us to laugh at any cost, but in the end it made the audience angry. This kind of filmmaking must be stopped.
