- 70Film ThreatAlan NgFilm ThreatAlan NgMy only real issue is the two leads. They’re crazy and hold nothing back. They are revolting and lovable, but there’s not much contrast between the two or real depth to their characters other than being lazy reprobates.
- 63RogerEbert.comSimon AbramsRogerEbert.comSimon AbramsCo-writer/co-director duo Harpo and Lenny Guit’s apparent disregard for their viewers’ comfort can sometimes be quite funny, depending on your tolerance for messy, meandering absurdist comedy.
- 50The Film StageBrianna ZiglerThe Film StageBrianna ZiglerWhile Mother Schmuckers may hit a sweet spot for fans of the delightfully vulgar and distasteful, it reads mostly as a film aiming only to provoke.
- 42IndieWireDavid EhrlichIndieWireDavid EhrlichThe gags in Mother Schmuckers are consistently more gross than funny, and the movie lacks the visual wit or malformed heart required to keep blood pumping as it runs itself ragged from one joke to the next.
- 30SlashfilmEthan AndertonSlashfilmEthan AndertonIt gets lost while trying to offend, and then comes to an abrupt end when it seems like the Guit brothers ran out of ideas. But maybe that's for the best.
- 25Movie NationRoger MooreMovie NationRoger MooreThe trailer to this was frenetic enough that I came in expecting something zippier and wittier. I laughed maybe twice. That could be a “wrong generation to ‘get it'” thing. But I’m putting my money on “This ugly, gross, spittle-spattered and incoherent junk movie just isn’t funny.”
- 0The New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisThe New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisThe title is bad enough, but it’s all downhill from there in the revolting Belgian farce Mother Schmuckers. I would say words fail me, but they don’t. It’s just that most of them are unprintable.
