Walk of Shame Reviews
Brill phenomenally wastes the proven comedic chops of Banks, Gillian Jacobs (“Community,” 2009-present), and Sarah Wright (“Celeste and Jesse Forever,” 2012) toward jokes without timing, a punchline, or even chuckle-worthy insight.
| Original Score: 0.5/5 | Jul 30, 2024
Silly, but weirdly satisfying.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 29, 2021
The opening-credit montage featuring real-life news bloopers is funnier than anything in the script.

Banks is one fierce talent more than able to carry a film all on her own, and here's hoping the next starring vehicle makes for a much smoother and consistent ride.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | May 28, 2014
...Walk Of Shame is a movie that asks you to not judge its main character by the cover that is her skimpy and short banana yellow Marc Jacobs dress, but the insubstantial contents...are so deficient, you're not given any reason to care either way.
| Original Score: D+ | May 11, 2014
Raunchy one-night-stand comedy relies on stereotypes.
| Original Score: 1/5 | May 9, 2014
This isn't as hateful as, say, The Other Woman. The concept's a little higher and the humiliation more cosmic.

It may be the second best "woman takes wild, wacky trip across Los Angeles" comedy to come out in the last decade, but it is still a pretty good, pretty funny movie.
| Original Score: 6.6/10 | May 8, 2014
Despite Banks' swashbuckling performance, Walk of Shame is about as mediocre as they come.
| Original Score: 5/10 | May 6, 2014
Banks telegraphs a sassy strut in this mean streets LA underbelly romp. A satirically served up slice of life flaky fugitive satire, bent on pegging the really shameful party here - a commercial media whose narrow focus ranges from dishonest to shallow.

If you don't think it's hilarious that a woman dressed for a night out would 'naturally' be mistaken for a prostitute, there is nothing here for you.

The dire new comedy Walk Of Shame offers itself as a gender-reversed After Hours[...] It's a clever conceit,[...] If only it weren't so desperately unfunny.
| Original Score: 1.5/5 | May 5, 2014
An unintended nightmare scenario for women in Hollywood, and the persistent humiliation required just to get noticed.

[Brill] gets a few enjoyable sequences out of the unlikely culture clashes and a couple of the supporting performances produce funny moments. But it's mostly Banks who keeps the film going ...

There's not much else we can praise about it, but at least "Walk of Shame" is perfectly titled.
| Original Score: 1/5 | May 4, 2014
A beautiful woman leaves a bar and goes home with James Marsden. And that is just about the only thing that makes sense in "Walk of Shame."
| May 2, 2014
Not even the fleet comic footwork of Elizabeth Banks can save this vile, unfunny stab at screwball farce.
| May 2, 2014
Though replete with plot holes and lapses in logic as wide and ugly as the L.A. Freeway, Walk of Shame doesn't have the moxie to go anywhere ludicrous or dangerous with its premise.
| Original Score: D | May 2, 2014
It would all be galling if it weren't so lame. But Walk of Shame is notable only for turning the unendingly adorable Banks into an unlikable figure.
| Original Score: 1/4 | May 2, 2014
If anyone walks away unblemished from Walk of Shame, it's Banks, who throws herself into every bit of physical comedy and humiliation the movie sends her way.
