Get Duked! Reviews
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
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
It's fun and the satire has a bit of depth to it, even if the movie never quite carves out its own identity.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 31, 2020
Hyperactive editing, the jittery rap score and an obligatory acid trip scene grate, but Doff's social commentary is sharp.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 29, 2020
Get Duked! isn't lacking confidence. But all the aesthetic bells and whistles tend to distract from the fact that there isn't much of a center, or story, here.
| Original Score: C+ | Aug 29, 2020
Get Duked! is good stoner comedy fun, and quite the promising debut from a rookie filmmaker.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 29, 2020
[M]anic energy can only get you so far before the film's unapologetic amateurism becomes deadening and mildly insulting.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Aug 28, 2020
The plot, such as it is, makes little sense until the end, long past the point of anyone caring.

Get Duked channels both Trainspotting and Deliverance to create a scattershot shotgun-blast of gags, gore and bedlam. Winningly performed by its young cast, it's a (laminated) calling card for director Ninian Doff.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 28, 2020
Get Duked! is most charming as a teen hangout comedy, but it's not so memorable as a superficially topical anti-Brexit riff on The Most Dangerous Game.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Aug 28, 2020
Wickedly funny and smart.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 28, 2020
A silly stoner comedy about teen delinquents bumbling their way across the Highlands contains every bit of the stupidity and hijinks you'd expect. What you don't expect, however, is the sharp social commentary, shocking bloodshed, and tense thrills.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 27, 2020
There's nothing wrong with poop jokes except when they're not funny and after the first pellet gag the loamy possibilities of this source material diminishes.

What a welcome comedy to snap us out of the Debbie Downer doldrums.
| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Aug 27, 2020
While "Get Duked!" may lean on stupidity too much for some tastes, it's nevertheless that rarest of movie creatures: a smart dumb comedy.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 26, 2020
Your mileage may vary, but it's a good enough game to play these waning summer days.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 26, 2020
If you're up for an absurdist comedy-horror take on "The Most Dangerous Game" that involves murder, bad hip-hop and hallucinogenic rabbit poop, "Get Duked!" is the movie for you.
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Aug 25, 2020
A taut genre exercise that delivers enough surprises and cleverly timed bits of humor for its sometimes familiar, uneven narrative beats to play an original tune.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Aug 13, 2020
Serves as a distinctive calling card for a gifted yet twisted comedian, one without the slightest qualms about turning a bucolic countryside jaunt into a bloody "The Hills Have Eyes"-style hunting party.

The brash swagger of the score holds the picture together at the moments when the storytelling gets sloppy.
