- 65Film ThreatFilm ThreatI feel that the laughs could have been spread out a bit more and not all at once, which would make the film not feel as if it was dragging. Bruce!!! is one hour and forty-three minutes but feels more like two hours or over. It’s the case where less is more.
- 40Los Angeles TimesMichael RechtshaffenLos Angeles TimesMichael RechtshaffenUnfortunately Marryshow, in his various capacities, has neglected to instill his terminally obnoxious character with a vital shred of audience empathy, let alone to provide sufficient comedic beats that would have better engaged his thoughtfully diverse cast.
- 38Movie NationRoger MooreMovie NationRoger MooreAnd while banter may be “EVERYthing,” pacing is PARAMOUNT in comedy. Bruce!!! and its star never get out of his own way.
- 30The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckThe Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckEden Marryshow (Jessica Jones) makes an arduous attempt in his feature directorial debut, in which he plays the title role of an unemployed actor who gets by thanks to the good graces of family and friends. But his character ultimately proves far more grating than endearing, making Bruce!!! a slog to endure.
- 30VarietyNick SchagerVarietyNick SchagerThe film moves along lackadaisically, without any knack for establishing scenarios, or setting up punchlines, that might lead to laughs — which, in turn, often makes it play like an enervating drama. Bruce!!!! makes a lot of verbal noise, but it says nothing worth remembering.
