DeVine manages to make unapologetic dweebishness charming, and the movie is elevated by a mish-mash of wonderful character-actor bit parts.

Everything you need to know about this movie can be gleaned from its title. That's rarely a good sign.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jul 9, 2023

For a Netflix movie that was obviously reverse-engineered from its title, and even more obviously made by the director of The Wrong Missy, Tyler Spindel’s The Out-Laws could be a hell of a lot worse.

| Original Score: C | Jul 7, 2023

Embarrassed laughter isn’t the same as the other kind; a cringe isn’t the same as a smile. And humiliation -- of an actor as well as a character -- isn’t really funny.

| Jul 7, 2023

Frankly, it’s all a bit too much.

| Jul 7, 2023

Derivative and desperate and, at the same time, bizarrely pleased with itself.

| Original Score: .5/4 | Jul 7, 2023

There seems little chance Netflix will offer us a comedy in the vein of Ernst Lubitsch or Preston Sturges. So make the most of an entertainment that comes in at the altitude of a better Adam Sandler joint.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 7, 2023

The wittiest thing about The Out-Laws is its title.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jul 7, 2023

The Out-Laws shines when it spotlights the committed performances of its cast.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jul 7, 2023

[A] watchable if forgettable crime comedy...

| Jul 7, 2023

...lazy, formulaic, loud and unfunny.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jul 7, 2023

Much of the cast seems to be having fun, but it comes at our expense.

| Original Score: 0/4 | Jul 7, 2023

The plot is ludicrous, but this is the sort of film where it’s about hilarious antics not plausibility.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jul 6, 2023

A slight comedy, but it’s also raucous and kickily violent, with several laugh-in-spite-of-your-better-judgment bits.
