Critics Consensus

Dumb, dated, desperate, and downright disappointing, Desperados squanders Nasim Pedrad's talents on gross-out gags that all too rarely land.

Do yourself a favor and spend five minutes - and as many dollars - researching something else to watch instead.

Any funny film should also be relatable and have true stakes-this Netflix release failed to do either...

This movie made me embarrassed to be a woman.

Desperados wants to pretend that it's feminist and edgy, when it's really not ... At its core, the film's message about how women should act and how women should be rewarded when looking for love is as old-fashioned as a Doris Day movie.

We've seen it all before. But now and again, we require these films that allow us to sit back, relax and allow our brain to mellow.

I liked the cast but it wasn't enough.

Rom coms are supposed to be dumb, but this is just ridiculous. The female lead is just awful, and why anyone would want to be with her is beyond me. The make lead was ok as in his personality wasn't repellent... but the fact that he wanted to be with her made him a worse human being.

There are some smiles in this comedy about a woman trying to find love but too many flaws to get past. This is trying too hard to be Bridesmaids and and The Hangover, but never coming close. The cast is actually pretty good but the laughs are cheap and predictable and that is the biggest issue. This one is not original or that funny. Summary: Doesn't Hit The Mark

The first movie that made me laugh out loud in a long time.. yes themes were problematic, but I enjoyed the cast and it cheered me up on a grey day.

A cute rom-com that will make you smile and laugh, and we all need that now. This is nothing we all haven't seen before, but during these pandemic times, sitting back, relaxing and allowing our brain to mellow, is just what the doctor ordered. Add some friends, weed and alcohol, and it's a better time. The casting and performances were decent, although some of the actors tried too hard in certain scenes to the point it felt forced. Although the pacing was decent, the 105 min runtime felt longer. Some editing/cutting would've gone a long way. The story was pretty much infantile, with some cringeworthy jokes that didn't work, but the ones that did, you will howl in laughter. Yes, it is predictable, but with the nice Mexican landscape and some off the wall comedy, it's a good mental break. It certainly is underserving of all the 1/10 by the wannabe critics. It's a generous 6/10 from me.
