Save Yourselves! Reviews
For the most part it manages an adept balance between satire, sincerity and sheer silliness that's ultimately winning.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 19, 2020
Things get a little weird, and the ending may not be as neat as one expects. But hey, these are tough times. A diversion like "Save Yourselves!" might just save your week.

It's droll, clever, and fun!

Even the smaller touches in Save Yourselves! ring true...a wry social commentary...
| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 7, 2020
Save Yourselves! is a bit rough around the edges. Yet it delivers surprises and laughs, along with a couple of solid scares, making it a terrifically fun and quirky romp.

A slapstick apocalypse with two sharp comic leads.
| Feb 4, 2020

There's only one joke in "Save Yourselves!" - this hapless generation is doomed! - but the survival comedy is delightful from start to apocalypse.
| Original Score: A | Jan 31, 2020
Yet, the fact that Su and Jack really are good people and that particular facet of their character becomes more paramount to the film's momentum than their bumbling mishaps is sweetly inspiring,
