Disturbing and screwed up, yet also darkly funny, and more heartfelt than you’d expect, the movie soars whether taken at face value or viewed as an intelligent piece of commentary.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 14, 2024

Based on its merits as a comedy, Get Duked! is reasonably fun so long as you enjoy the works of Edgar Wright.

| Original Score: 9/10 | Jul 20, 2023

... A juvenile comedy that is an allegory on adolescence and its hardships. [Full review in Spanish]

| Nov 16, 2022

Get Duked! is a fun adventure stuffed to the gills with scrappy young folk, a darkly absurdist sense of humor and genial trippiness (thanks to the Scottish Highlands' hallucinogenic rabbit droppings).

Get Duked!...it stands as one of the more viscerally pleasurable viewing experiences of the year on the strength of its considerable, effervescent charm.

| Jun 5, 2021

Get Duked! was dubbed a "future cult classic"...that's a big prediction, but in the meantime, there's no denying that the Duke of Edinburgh's Award has never been this much fun.

| Original Score: 4/5 | May 10, 2021

A fun little watch, even if the protagonists veer on the side of grating more often than not.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 30, 2020

This is a raucous, non-stop ride that is a little rough around the edges but also unexpectedly endearing, not unlike the four teens at the center.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Oct 30, 2020

One of the freshest and most entertaining entries into the coming-of-age genre in a long while.

| Original Score: 8.5/10 | Oct 21, 2020

But if you don't care for a message intruding upon your survivalist comedy, Get Duked! makes that easy enough to ignore with its unbridled silliness.

| Oct 21, 2020

Sort of a goofball combination of The Most Dangerous Game and Attack the Block, this one's a lot of fun

| Oct 14, 2020

For a comedy horror, there's precious little suspense, but if the story and satire feel undercooked there are explosions of anarchic energy and some eye-catching visual gimmicks.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 16, 2020

[It] easily rates as one of the year's smarter exercises in dumb fun.

| Sep 15, 2020

This gloriously idiotic misadventure is the perfect ludicrous comedy romp for the right viewer.

| Sep 10, 2020

Doff's efforts on crafting an irreverent and often absurd coming-of-age horror comedy hybrid with Get Duked! show both a great deal of promise and innovative style to boot.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 8, 2020

Doff announces himself as a talent to be reckoned with. His feature debut seems destined for admission into the cult classic hall of fame.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Sep 6, 2020

However sympathetic that Get Duked! might be toward the plight of young people, the movie, under [Ninian] Doff's mostly well-paced direction, doesn't lose its sense of humor as it takes viewers on a madcap ride in the teens' fight for survival.

| Sep 5, 2020

It's really an excuse for a lot of drug jokes and very dark humor -- some of it so dark, that it's not really funny, which for me to say is really quite something.

| Sep 5, 2020

Ham-handed, dull, and not particularly amusing, Get Duked! is a waste of time and effort.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Sep 4, 2020

Doff honors those traditions of British comedy by making them feel fresh again. Most importantly, he still makes his four teen tossers a squad for whom to cheer.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Sep 4, 2020
