Addicted to Fresno Reviews
The movie is a barrel of laughs, and the cast is chock full of comedy royalty.

The sisterly bond at the center winds up resonating the most, but it seems problematic when the most memorable parts of a comedy are the unfunny parts.
| Original Score: 5.5/10 | Jun 3, 2019
Often ridiculous, the film has a lot of ingredients but lacks the right recipe.
| Original Score: 2/5 | May 2, 2019
Judy Greer and Natasha Lyonne have great chemistry ... but the plot is thin and meanders about ...
| Original Score: 6/10 | Nov 2, 2018
Greer's character ultimately gives the audience too little to root for.
| Aug 29, 2016
In Addicted to Fresno, it feels like the film's action relies on the audience rooting for Greer's character, but Babbit's characterisation doesn't offer much to root for.
| Original Score: Not Recommended | Mar 2, 2016
Perhaps in other hands Fresno could have been a hilarious dark comedy , but instead Jamie Babbit and Karey Dornetto have made a chronically unfunny farce, harsh and offensive in its tone, inexcusably laughing at those who are worse off than themselves.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Feb 26, 2016
The colour is off and the setting is snark but the high energy levels and great performances win you over.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 14, 2015
Naff jokes about rape, the Holocaust, and the wretchedness of Fresno leave laughter in short supply as the shrieky action pinballs self-consciously from barmitzvahs to pet cemeteries.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 11, 2015
There's a mean-spirited tone to the screenplay, which can't reconcile its broad slapstick antics with attempts at deeper emotional resonance.

Greer is hilarious.
| Oct 9, 2015
Dark comedy about sex, death is edgy but not funny.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 9, 2015
An edgy, daring and often tasteless comedy.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 8, 2015
Though Karey Dornetto's slaloming screenplay can feel self-conscious about pushing the taste envelope, it offers the leads a useful showcase ...
| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 8, 2015
Movies rarely need to be made shorter. Addicted to Fresno effortlessly proves that most of them could stand to be longer.
| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Oct 7, 2015
"Addicted to Fresno" should be good, or at the very least, enjoyably off kilter. Sadly, save for a few inspired moments (usually at the expense of the city of Fresno), Jamie Babbit's screwball comedy is cringe-inducing and unfunny.
| Original Score: D+ | Oct 3, 2015
"Addicted to Fresno" is such a mean-spirited, dull and silly movie that it buries its talented cast under the weight of a horrendous script that they can't possibly redeem.
| Original Score: 1/4 | Oct 2, 2015
The laughs are mild, but at least some exist.
| Oct 1, 2015
"Addicted to Fresno" is one of those comedies that seem not to care whether you laugh. Parts of it seem openly hostile to the idea.

It's a buddy comedy in which women get to behave as badly as men usually get to. That right there - that's progress.
