	Media	Author	Review
		Joe Leydon Variety	"The lightweight comedy earns guffaws with familiar mix of raunch and sentiment"
		Lovia Gyarkye The Hollywood Reporter	"Fine performances from Howery and Cena, a few chuckle-worthy jokes and some surprising plot twists will be enough to keep most viewers engaged."
		Christy Lemire rogerebert.com	"All four actors are trapped in one-note roles in repetitive scenarios that become increasingly tedious (…) Rating: ★½ (out of 4)"
		Jennifer Green Common Sense Media	"Despite some uneven pacing and a few meant-to-be-funny clunkers, this comedy squeaks out the laughs thanks to a blend of quirky characters and surreal situations (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Mae Abdulbaki Screen Rant	"All of the jokes wear out their welcome pretty quickly in 'Vacation Friends' and it’s hard to stay engaged when the humor remains stagnant and the characters’ relationships with each other don’t really move forward (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
		Glenn Kenny The New York Times	"It gets the job done"
		John Serba Decider	"This is a movie that trades heavily in excruciation-comedy tropes and mismatched-couple cliches and schmaltzy sentiment"
		Matt Fowler IGN	"An enjoyable hang featuring fun chemistry and another standout performance by Cena"
		Benjamin Lee The Guardian	"A talented cast can’t do enough to save an almost entirely unfunny film (...) The script is remarkably low on genuinely funny lines or set pieces (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
		Wenlei Ma News	"'Vacation Friends' is fine. You’ll probably never rewatch it and you’ll never quote from it, but it’s amiable enough to pass some time (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
