18 1/2 Reviews
Mirvish’s excellent cast approaches this sequence like a one-act play, swinging at every curveball their fellow actors throw.

It’s entertaining enough and you never know where the story is headed, but it doesn’t quite hold together.

Yes, another Watergate movie, but this one's fun and totally fictional.

I liked this! It is weird, small, and unexpected.

This feature is [Dan Mirvish's] best-directed work and also his most Altman-like.

"18 1/2" plays fast and loose with history, but what should have been a fun "what if?" instead asks another question: "why?"
| Original Score: C- | Jun 3, 2022
The film’s referential pleasures feel insubstantial, diminished by the direct comparison to more meaningful works of the period.

[18½] proceeds to go off the comedic rails.

Attempts to be part cloak-and-dagger thriller, part romantic comedy, part screwball comedy, and part mood piece, and its plotting is slapdash, to say the least.
