... provides a few solid sitcom-style laughs before the bickering and mayhem become repetitive and the film simply runs out of gas.
October 12, 2012
It's unbearable to sit through at times, watching decent actors flounder with intentionally ridiculous material, working themselves into a lather to serve writer/director Jordan Roberts's clumsy sense of humor.
October 09, 2012
The film never really goes soft, as Jordan Roberts never loses sight of the fact that these toxic nincompoops are authentically bad for one another.

Provided one submits to its base level of intentional ridiculousness, there's some wacky charm to be found in this low-budget comedy of fraternal bickering.
October 11, 2012
A vibrantly vulgar comedy that never hangs around to admire its own cleverness.
December 18, 2016
An unusual -- and unusually joyous -- embattled siblings flick, flush with quirks and neat asides and insanely funny bits you barely saw coming.
October 11, 2012
Tragically unfunny, Frankie is occasionally elevated by some of its gifted and game cast, but the film's nasty, comedically incoherent script limits its potential.
October 12, 2012
A sub-Apatovian farce that tries way too hard ...
October 16, 2012
Toxic brother drives so-so comedy about mortifying video.
October 11, 2012
A noisy stab at wacky wrongness that starts with reasonably plump possibility as a dispatch from the frontlines of viral video embarrassment hell.
October 11, 2012
Both actors somehow stay grounded despite all the shenanigans. Hunnam, in particular, is quite adept at playing against his movie-star looks.

Though deliciously rude and crude, '3, 2, 1 ... Frankie Go Boom' possesses a surprisingly sweet heart.
