Critics Consensus

Incoherent, unfunny, and borderline misogynist, Walk of Shame lives up to its title for filmgoers entering and leaving the theater.

Grantland

This isn't as hateful as, say, The Other Woman. The concept's a little higher and the humiliation more cosmic.

Scott Tobias

The Dissolve

The dire new comedy Walk Of Shame offers itself as a gender-reversed After Hours[...] It's a clever conceit,[...] If only it weren't so desperately unfunny.

Rated: 1.5/5

Robert Abele

Los Angeles Times

An unintended nightmare scenario for women in Hollywood, and the persistent humiliation required just to get noticed.

Silly, but weirdly satisfying.

Cinemalogue

The opening-credit montage featuring real-life news bloopers is funnier than anything in the script.

Banks is one fierce talent more than able to carry a film all on her own, and here's hoping the next starring vehicle makes for a much smoother and consistent ride.

Rated: 2.5/4

Doesn't deserve such a low score. It's great for a comedy movie, the plot isn't meant to be taken too seriously.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Wanna find a great movie? Go for the one the critics hate. Like this one. This was such a hilarious movie, played brilliantly by the always charming and entertaining Elizabeth Banks. Recommended.

I really enjoyed this, it was fun and a bit different. Meghan goes on a night out with her friends, has too much fun and then follows the inevitable walk of shame. Only she has to be at work, and everything goes a bit pear shaped! It's harmless fun and worth watching with pals.
