Proof that Zoey Deutch can carry a film...

| Dec 30, 2020

Buffaloed churns with barely-controlled chaos in its best sequences.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Feb 15, 2020

This low rent She-Wolf of Wall Street is not without its charms - it's hard not to find some room in one's heart for a film that works so hard to restore the word "jagoff" to popular usage.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 14, 2020

Buffaloed is good before you even get to what Deutch is doing. She makes is great.

Thanks largely to the feisty Deutch, "Buffaloed" is a fun time, even if it's about everybody's least-favorite kind of phone call.

In 2017, Zoey Deutch managed to carry Flower, a brisk but slight comedy about an exuberant young hustler with Daddy issues. She does it again in Buffaloed, in which she plays pretty much the same character, but confronts a different social evil.

[I]t's hard to begrudge "Buffaloed" too much; this is a fast, fun watch that succeeds largely on the charms of its star and the able hands of its director.

Had the movie gone all-in on Peg's amorality, we might have had a more interesting project. Had Peg shown some nuanced vulnerability or awareness, we might have had a more likable one.

By the time Wexler's feature ratchets up to criminal double-crossings, a shocking arrest, and Deutch gamely going up against her primary nemesis, even she can't salvage a cheap story that keeps coming up short.

| Original Score: C+ | Feb 13, 2020

Simultaneously rowdy and slick, "Buffaloed" is exuberantly paced and entirely dependent on Deutch's moxie and pell-mell performance.

Never quite reaches the comic heights for which it's aiming.

The filmmakers allow their characters to learn the usual humanist lessons, in the process eliding the ramifications of their scenario.
