There was a more nuanced (and humorous) depiction of parental and marital anxiety to be had, but The Drop at least concludes with a unique and heartwarming message–the saving grace for an uneven, sort-of-funny comedy.

| Original Score: 4/10 | Jul 21, 2024

Cringe-worthy comedy.

| Original Score: C+ | Jul 25, 2023

[The filmmakers] aren’t concerned with telling you very loudly that this is funny, they just let it be funny.

| Apr 21, 2023

What may seem conceptually ripe on paper is inevitably squandered in an aimless and half-baked extension of mumblecore mannerisms.

| Jan 27, 2023

Sarah Adina Smith’s comedy is bereft of laughs, leaving us stuck with irritating people.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jan 26, 2023

The meandering plot can go largely unnoticed thanks to The Drop's collection of comedic actors, each offering his or her own uniquely bizarre caricature.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 18, 2023

It’s a weirdly noncommittal movie, stuck in a no-man’s-land between hangout movie and a story with substance.

| Jan 18, 2023

While Konkle and Fowler are very strong as the central relationship being tested, the script treats them more as easy punchlines trying to navigate a series of escalating, cringe-worthy friend faux paus.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Jan 17, 2023

The cast gives it their all to make sure the best jokes land, but ultimately “The Drop” just doesn’t have enough skill to fully make good on its admittedly hilarious premise.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Jan 17, 2023

The Drop drops the ball at every turn, only coming together in the final moments of the film, and by that point the viewer has already checked out.

| Original Score: 4/10 | Jan 16, 2023

With the exception of Jillian Bell and Joshua Leonard, everyone in the cast looks like an improv group desperately waiting for someone in the audience to set each and every scene for them.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jan 16, 2023

The film isn’t dumb — the quips are quick — but the problem is, quite simply and quite fatally, that it’s just not… funny.

| Jan 16, 2023

The Drop ultimately flops because it’s a comedy without enough humor.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 15, 2023

...a collection of characters who are thoroughly unlikable but great fun to watch. Alas, while they are indeed one odious bunch, they wear out their welcome long before we’re subjected to one last cheap joke and mercifully fading to black.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 14, 2023

The Drop runs intimacy, relationships, and family planning through a comedic grinder. It takes a while to identify each supporting character, but you're laughing hysterically the whole time. Wackiness compounds as long-held insecurities erupt.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 13, 2023

The Drop’s meandering 90 minutes are entertaining enough, but they’ll inevitably have you wishing that it really was as bold as dropping a baby on the concrete.

| Original Score: 6.2/10 | Jan 13, 2023

The Drop isn’t really about dropping a baby. But it’s not about much else, either.

| Jan 13, 2023

A quick and enjoyable trip with well-considered humor.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Jan 13, 2023

Thanks to an amusing batch of characters, the heavily improvised film provides some big laughs while maintaining its satirical edge, even if it stumbles in the uneven final act.

| Jan 13, 2023

A solid premise and an appealing cast get bogged down and the film ends ups dropping the ball—and the baby.

| Original Score: C+ | Jan 13, 2023
