Critic Reviews for Woo

Pinkett Smith, who was so good in her supporting role in The Nutty Professor, is here little more than a mannequin for skimpy clothes.

Monica Eng
Chicago Tribune
A romantic comedy that strains for the screwball heights of Bringing Up Baby but mainly seems unfunny and unpleasant.

Dave Kehr
New York Daily News
Woo disappoints on so many levels, lacking in wit and intelligence, characters with any sense of dimension and a coherent story line.

July 26, 2014 | Rating: 1.5/4 | Full Review…

Melanie McFarland
Seattle Times
A painfully graceless comedy that reworks After Midnight, Blind Date and Booty Call into something monstrous and untoward.

John Anderson
Los Angeles Times
The whole thing is rude and pathetic, more like a lengthy episode of a bad sitcom than a movie, chock full of the kind of sexual innuendoes that are guaranteed to please horny eighth-graders or people who laugh at those Playboy party jokes.

It would all be easier to take if the title character were presented with an ounce of charm. Woo is much too selfish, insensitive and narcissistic for audiences to want to buy her, and Smith is still much too self-conscious an actress to sell her.

Ann Hornaday

Pinkett Smith does just fine. She's sexy, funny and ironic and carries Woo as it ambles all over a Brooklyn night that's one long party.

[A] truly awful disaster.

Jo Berry
Radio Times
Initially, Woo seems every bit the fun dating film that's guaranteed to give urban 20-somethings their six bucks of fulfillment. Unsurprisingly, it's no more than that, although at times its tenuous jokes add up to a bit less.

Forrest Green III
Metro Times (Detroit, MI)
A romantic comedy, it's such a sloppy mess that polishing it with all the Pledge in the world couldn't help brighten it up.

Leah Rozen
People Magazine
Woo is proof that you can take a tired retread of a plot -- a blind date from hell -- and infuse it with just the right amount of freshness, style and vivacity to make it new again.

Laura Kelly
South Florida Sun-Sentinel
As the film plods on, Woo's initial, slightly mysterious charm wilts from overexposure; the frantic antics fall flat and the whole contrived mess begins to feel increasingly obvious and boring.
