Critics Consensus

Dumb, dated, desperate, and downright disappointing, Desperados squanders Nasim Pedrad's talents on gross-out gags that all too rarely land.

I liked this movie, it's so funny and this movie is good. ( I Just don't like the main character like wtf is wrong with you, you just met that guy and you're so selfish. You literally have a perfect two bestfriends).

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars

Rom coms are supposed to be dumb, but this is just ridiculous. The female lead is just awful, and why anyone would want to be with her is beyond me. The make lead was ok as in his personality wasn't repellent... but the fact that he wanted to be with her made him a worse human being.

This was another one of those silly movies with egocentric and annoying American women getting into "funny situations". Lousy script, lousy plot, annoying and poorly acted characters. The locations are pretty nice, though, and that "Sean" character was pretty cool.

There are some smiles in this comedy about a woman trying to find love but too many flaws to get past. This is trying too hard to be Bridesmaids and and The Hangover, but never coming close. The cast is actually pretty good but the laughs are cheap and predictable and that is the biggest issue. This one is not original or that funny. Summary: Doesn't Hit The Mark

The first movie that made me laugh out loud in a long time.. yes themes were problematic, but I enjoyed the cast and it cheered me up on a grey day.

Do yourself a favor and spend five minutes - and as many dollars - researching something else to watch instead.

Any funny film should also be relatable and have true stakes-this Netflix release failed to do either...

This movie made me embarrassed to be a woman.

Culture Mix

Desperados wants to pretend that it's feminist and edgy, when it's really not ... At its core, the film's message about how women should act and how women should be rewarded when looking for love is as old-fashioned as a Doris Day movie.

Ready Steady Cut

We've seen it all before. But now and again, we require these films that allow us to sit back, relax and allow our brain to mellow.
