Reviews & comments
Flicks, Daniel Rutledge
flicksThe best thing about Stuber is the two leads, Dave Bautista and Kumail Nanjiani. Both have buckets of charisma and charm, and putting them together as an unlikely crime-fighting duo should only make their appeal exponentially greater. It is fantastic seeing them work together in this solid action/comedy, but it falls short of the greatness it should have achieved.
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
pressWhen a comedy is as unfunny as this one, its stars tend to bear the full force of your irritation but in this case, all I felt was sympathy.
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.
