Unlike other based-on-a-true-story movies, the value of Jerry and Marge Go Large is not in the oddity of its story. Instead, this film should have doubled down on the love and sense of community Jerry and Marge created.

If you are looking to have a fun time and intend to watch two boomers (metaphorically) beat the hell out of an over-smart zoomer, please watch Jerry and Marge Go Large.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 20, 2023

Despite the joy of watching Bryan Cranston “breaking good,” Jerry & Marge Go Large falls apart under the weight of putting a premium on feel-good storytelling.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jan 2, 2023

While it is not a film that will rock your world or even that you will think about long after it is over, it most certainly is a pleasant watch.

If you hate this movie, you might be a bad person.

Movies that qualify as human interest stories only work when, well, the humans are interesting, and that proves to be case here.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Nov 19, 2022

The very definition of mainstream, with a crowd-pleasing story, harmless humor, and an ending that’s warm, fuzzy, and wrapped up with a tidy bow. The film is bland, but it mostly succeeds for what it is.

This is such a fun film to watch, from the premise to the cast. Cranston and Bening will go down as two of the best actors of their generation, and it’s a treat to see them play off each other so well.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Aug 2, 2022

There is a nice emotional undercurrent as Jerry comes to understand that while mathematics is easy, human beings are complex. This is a highly enjoyable, finely acted, big-hearted film that reminds us that people are not just numbers.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jul 30, 2022

Both Cranston and Bening have been denied Oscars for great work...Jerry and Marge Go Large is anything but what you’d call Oscar bait. Still, there is an undeniable thrill in seeing two pros give everything they’ve got to a slight, sweet tale.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 7, 2022

There is nothing that either Annette Bening or Bryan Cranston can do that is not worth looking at.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jul 6, 2022

Jerry and Marge ultimately limits itself through its innate folksiness.

| Jul 5, 2022

A spunky and thoroughly satisfying morality tale about generosity.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Jul 4, 2022

Bryan Cranston and Annette Bening are wonderful as Jerry and Marge. Both create delightful characters who can’t believe their luck.

Mediocre in the Middle.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Jul 1, 2022

Remarkably, this is a true story, and it is only this aspect of the production that keeps you watching.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jun 30, 2022

“Jerry & Marge Go Large” is the kind of mid-level movie that used to be the backbone of Hollywood, a solid comedy headlined by stars and featuring a memorable, recognizable cast...Not great, but pretty good – you have to like your odds.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jun 28, 2022

A warm, comfortable and enjoyable movie.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Jun 27, 2022

Cranston and Bening make as likable a couple as you'll see in the movies this year.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jun 27, 2022

The leads are great together and reason enough to see this Capra-esque comedy. Etching its simplistic theme with a sledgehammer, it's fun and entertaining nonetheless.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jun 25, 2022
