---|---|---|---|---|
"If this material had been presented straight, as a drama, the movie would have felt more honest and might have been more successful (...) Rating: ★ (out of 4)" | ||||
"When it is good, the film by 'Chicago Hope' actor Peter Berg is very, very good, but when it is bad it is horrid." | ||||
"A black comedy which is not as smart as it thinks (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)" | ||||

"[It] is packed with rude and clever twists, and it delves, with surprising force, into the hypocritical postures of corporate-era male bonding." | ||||
"Hollow, simple-minded and about as profound an experience as stepping in a pile of road kill" | ||||
"There is a line between gallows humor and tastelessness, but Very Bad Things apparently doesn't have a clue where that might be." |
