Get a Job Reviews
...exceedingly (and often egregiously) broad...
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jan 8, 2022
Some bits scrape the bottom of the barrel so hard that I dare to say it is a career low for Miles Teller, Anna Kendrick, and Bryan Cranston
| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 4, 2017
A weak and wobbly comedy about the difficulties of millennials in the wonderful world of work.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 21, 2016
Crass and painfully unfunny satirical comedy shot four years ago. It's finally receiving a token theatrical release concurrent with being dumped into the video-on-demand sludge pile.
| Original Score: 0.5/4 | Apr 8, 2016
Neither a contemporary workplace satire nor an insightful lampoon of the laziness of overprivileged millennials ...
| Apr 1, 2016
A brutally cynical, largely unfunny film fueled by muddled social commentary.
| Original Score: D | Mar 30, 2016
What makes Get A Job so infuriatingly bad, rather than the kind of film you hate and then completely forget about, is the all-star cast that it has at its disposal and disgracefully wastes.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Mar 28, 2016
This long-shelved comedy proves a disappointing mix of onscreen talent, uneven social satire and juvenile humor.
| Mar 25, 2016
Get A Job's primary problem is that it doesn't know if it wants to be a realistic look at millennials and the current economy, or go for the cheap gag about the jive-talking pimp renting out a sleazy motel.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 25, 2016
Get A Job points to either massive studio compromise or a filmmaker who has somehow lost the mastery of his once-auspicious occupation
| Original Score: D | Mar 25, 2016
After a viewing, it's obvious why the producers lost interest in releasing it.
| Original Score: D | Mar 25, 2016
Predictable workplace comedy has drugs, sex, swearing.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 25, 2016
"Get a Job" is nothing special.
| Mar 24, 2016
The imperfect work mired in storage all this time gets a well-deserved spin.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 24, 2016
Clearly, the economy has given Get a Job a reason to be sour. But there's no excuse for being so sexist.
| Original Score: C | Mar 24, 2016
At its sloppy heart, this is meant to be an affirming movie, but the filmmakers could have taken a cue from one line of dialogue: "Don't just feel special. Be special."
| Mar 24, 2016
It's hard work finding work these days, is it not? Not according to "Get a Job."
| Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 24, 2016
Not only is this ensemble unemployment comedy labored and witless, but it bears the unmistakable scars of a protracted and ultimately failed struggle in the editing room.
| Original Score: C | Mar 22, 2016
Shot like a typically ugly Adam Sandler effort and so clumsily stitched together that it feels as if large plot chunks litter the editing-room floor ...
| Mar 22, 2016
The problem is that a movie like this - limp, lazy, generic - just doesn't cut it at a time when American indies and television offer sharp, witty, satisfyingly complex takes on the "Facebook generation."
