- Andrea Chase @ KillerMovieReviews.com
- Excerpt: lackadaisical instead of wry, and cliché instead of sharp-edged as it pays ham-handed homage to other, better films.
- Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: Ethan Coen’s first solo directorial feature… stands in stark contrast to older brother Joel’s 2021 solo effort…feels a whole lot more like a Coen Brothers’ movie, albeit a Coen-lite romcom road movie romp…
- Sarah Gopaul @ Digital Journal
- Excerpt: This definitely has some of co-writer and director Ethan Coen’s flair for intricate dialogue, unique characters, surprising cameos and unusual circumstances generally seen in movies created with his brother, Joel. But it’s far more outrageous than his typical understated fair and may not appeal to the same audiences
- Jeremy Kibler @ GuyAtTheMovies.com
- Excerpt: It’s a slight but zippy, bawdy, and chaotically silly goof.
- [New] | Jared Mobarak @ Hey, have you seen …?
- Excerpt: Look up “slapdash” in the dictionary and you’ll find the poster for DRIVE-AWAY DOLLS, a film that was first written in the early 2000s and feels like it.
- Matt Oakes @ Silver Screen Riot
- Excerpt: Ethan Coen’s first foray into solo directing with ‘Drive Away Dolls’ reveals a filmmaker liberally applying heavy-handed slapstick and little else in terms of characterization, plotting, or even comedic sensibilities.
- Christopher Reed @ Film Festival Today
- Excerpt: Filled with whimsy, jokes, and whiplash-inducing plot twists, the movie tries extremely hard to offer a good time. A little too hard, as it turns out.
- Nadine Whitney @ The Curb
- Excerpt: Drive-Away Dolls is Ethan Coen’s first solo fictional feature, and it is everything one could hope for – whip smart, side-splitting, rollicking, and witty entertainment… good clean dirty fun!
