Metacritic-Rezensionen

Sweethearts thankfully avoids full predictability – a welcome relief, particularly in a film that embraces the rampant horniness of 18-year-olds. Even if you’ve suffered through the turkey dump, this one is a treat.

This is a smart, funny, original piece of work that turns some well-worn tropes upside down in clever fashion, a heartwarming slice of comfort comedy.

An admirable effort with just enough charm to keep audience interest where it needs to be with an unfortunate handful of shortcomings that ultimately relegate this film to the realm of average.

The central premise of the friends’ dropping their high school relationships never takes off when the film has so little interest in fleshing those connections out even slightly, but it’s easy to root for the two of them to find happiness.

Despite some issues with pacing and its exploration of the two main storylines, this buddy comedy is entertaining and powered by a delightful trio.

At the end of the day, Sweethearts just feels wan and inconsequential as a result of its lack of focus.

Despite subverting expectations and being edgy in its approach, the lack of energy and fearlessness keeps this story from reaching its full potential. Weiss's directorial debut is not a dud, but charm can only get you so far.

Jordan Weiss's feature debut, "Sweethearts," has its charming moments but feels uneven overall.

This direct-to-streaming bauble benefits from two leads whose charm effortlessly outshines the material.

A sex comedy lacking in sex, silliness or subversion, when just one would do.
