	Media	Author	Review
		Caryn James The Hollywood Reporter	"It's a fine idea to applaud ordinary people, but a film about the most average person on Earth shouldn't be completely ordinary itself"
		Benjamin Lee The Guardian	"Superintelligence won’t be filed as a total disaster. Instead, it’s just another regrettable waste of [Melissa McCarthy's] talent (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
		Johnny Oleksinski New York Post	"A pleasant watch with some solid jokes (...) What 'Superintelligence' is missing is a bit of flair (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"
		Mark Olsen Los Angeles Times	"A spotlight for McCarthy’s genuine gift for blending broad comedy with emotional sincerity (...) in many ways the movie fits the model of so many movies in the emerging streaming era — innocuously passable diversions."
		Joe Leydon Variety	"A lightweight, undemandingly engaging comedy (...) Some of the funny business is very funny indeed, and the movie overall is more enjoyable than not"
		David Ehrlich IndieWire	"One of the year’s worst (...) Melissa McCarthy's laugh-free HBO Max comedy crystallizes a grim future where movies have to satisfy algorithms but not theatrical audiences."
		Glenn Kenny The New York Times	"'This is nice — they’re nice people,' Falcone’s character, an F.B.I. agent tailing Carol, says (...) That is about the best recommendation one can give 'Superintelligence'."
		Stephen Whitty Screendaily	"Melissa McCarthy may save the world, but she can’t fix this sci-fi farce (...) Superintelligence isn’t as smart as it thinks it is"
		Jake Coyle Minneapolis Star Tribune	"Even though the innocuous 'Superintelligence' is on the bland side, it remains hard not to enjoy two hours with McCarthy (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"
		Christy Lemire rogerebert.com	"Everything is wrong with 'Superintelligence,' beginning with the misbegotten premise of Steve Mallory’s script (…) Rating: ½ (out of 4)"
