Critics Consensus

A crude, ludicrous exploitation movie with a questionable moral.

The movie and its unpleasant brood just eat into your skull and make you wish that they would all simply go away.

It doesn't take long for the film to devolve into a ludicrously far-fetched Celebrity Death Wish.

An egregiously self-serving slice of celebrity worship.

2.5/4.0

The dialogue, storyline, and performance of Robin Tunney all combine to push this film up.

There are so many preposterous moments that I couldn't help but appreciate the comedy of the moment. The problem is, I don't think the filmmakers intended Paparazzi to be a comedy.

They tried to make a joke, and they ended up with a bad and insulting joke. [Full Review in Spanish]

It's a surprise that this was even released by Fox. There are straight to DVD titles that are better than this.

Mad-Melin tuottama paparazzien kyykytysfantasia! Elokuvan paparazzit ovat niin yksiulotteisesti saastoja että ei voi kun nauraa. Levoton leffa! :D
