Queenpins Reviews
Let’s cut to the Chevy Chase here, Paul Walter Hauser is hysterically funny in Queenpins.

Seems like it should come free with purchase of detergent.

There are plenty of fun performances in "Queenpins," and it explores characters in a way that many other comedies don't, but the film isn't particularly memorable.
| Original Score: 5/10 | Jun 27, 2022
The flippant tone and broad humour ultimately short-change the characters' emotional arcs, but Bell and Howell-Baptiste are so likeable that they make this a fun ride while it lasts.

Queenpins feels like three different movies and none of them are good, and none of them are funny.
| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Nov 2, 2021
Kristen Bell stars in this thoroughly enjoyable comedy crime caper set in the wild world of extreme couponing... Lightweight fun very loosely based on a true story.

The movie meanders for an hour and 50 minutes, and then it ends. It doesn't even bother to establish heroes or villains.

Maybe somewhere in here is a critique of capitalism or materialism.

Queenpins won't change anyone's life, though as a study of "pink-collar crime" it takes its audience through a rather fascinating journey into blithe corruption.

...fun but ultimately forgettable.
| Original Score: 14.5/20 | Sep 27, 2021
Even at its most ridiculous, this is a crime comedy where almost everyone is sincere, relatively soft-spoken, and even kind of square.
| Original Score: C+ | Sep 25, 2021
Thanks to the chemistry of the leads, some clever dialogue and a willingness to embrace the silly, it all clicks. It's good. Good enough, in fact, that you won't even mind paying full price.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 22, 2021
This would have worked, if not for the misfired attempt at making the co-conspirators cheekily relatable and the underdeveloped observations about life in the American suburbs.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 22, 2021
Bale is really good, and this is the funniest Vaughn has been in years...
| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 21, 2021
The most criminal thing about the overly manic and oddly humor-free caper comedy "Queenpins" is the way it squanders the comic talents of so many actors with so little payoff.
| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Sep 21, 2021
There are some funny moments, but not enough to warrant paying full price.
| Original Score: 4.5/10 | Sep 17, 2021
A former Olympian with fertility issues, Connie has a compelling backstory, but Bell is not an especially compelling presence here - a rare misfire from an actor typically bursting with charisma.
| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Sep 17, 2021
Queenpins is mostly silly fun, and it zips along a nice clip. It made me LOL several times -- but considering the richness of the source material, it's a bit disappointing that it never made me think.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Sep 16, 2021
Time and again, that's the reality of Queenpins. So much potential, so much talent, so little follow-through.

Queenpins works best when Kristen Bell and Kirby Howell-Baptiste are allowed to let their effortless chemistry be the focus.
