Reviews & comments
Variety
pressThe deliciously antagonistic chemistry between Bautista and Nanjiani - who come across as more likely to murder each other than to die at the hands of heavily armed drug dealers - fuels this breakneck buddy movie.
Time Out
pressClearly surge pricing also applies to jokes, because it's mostly about as funny as a traffic jam.
The New York Times
press"Stuber" squeaks by on the charm of its two male stars, who handle the nonsense capably.
Sydney Morning Herald

Screen Daily
pressThis talented ensemble will be happier with this misfire in their rear-view mirror.
New Zealand Herald
pressThere is bountiful chemistry between Nanjiani and Bautista, who spend most of the film loudly bickering. But the film's pure action elements often feel haphazard and clunky...
Los Angeles Times
pressIt's not the clumsiness of the filmmaking that rankles so much as the hypocrisy.
