Waking Up in Reno Reviews

A redneck romantic comedy about marital infidelity, that is crude and unfunny.

| Original Score: C+ | Aug 6, 2017

Like Pabst Blue Ribbon, which the characters drink by the case, this bubba comedy about cheating spouses is good for a cheap buzz.

What's worse is this is not just a bad film but a bad comedy...

| Apr 29, 2009

Four boring characters, a painfully unfunny road trip and drama that's not quite as convincing as a daytime soap opera add up to a wretched time in this redneck romantic comedy.

A lot of weirdness from otherwise good actors.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 10, 2005

A bushel of yokel gags and labored boudoir misunderstandings ... culminating with a tipping-the-bellhop gag that first appeared in cave paintings.

...it's hard to imagine what these four stars saw in the script...

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jul 27, 2003

I can't begin to tell you how tedious, how resolutely unamusing, how thoroughly unrewarding all of this is, and what a reckless squandering of four fine acting talents...

Everyone's to blame here.

It won't harm anyone, but neither can I think of a very good reason to rush right out and see it. After all, it'll probably be in video stores by Christmas, and it might just be better suited to a night in the living room than a night at the movies.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 12, 2002

The whole damn thing is ripe for the Jerry Springer crowd. It's all pretty cynical and condescending, too.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 3, 2002

| Original Score: 1/10 | Nov 2, 2002

Brady achieves the remarkable feat of squandering a topnotch foursome of actors ... by shoving them into every clichd white-trash situation imaginable.

It would be disingenuous to call Reno a great film, but you can say that about most of the flicks moving in and out of the multiplex. This is a movie that is what it is: a pleasant distraction, a Friday night diversion, an excuse to eat popcorn.

I like all four of the lead actors a lot and they manage to squeeze a few laughs out of the material, but they're treading water at best in this forgettable effort.
