"[R]eplicate[s] in a raunchy cartoon how the chaos of our experience correlates more than we may care to admit to the chaos of our personalities."

Alan Dale
6/10
"I've got something to say!!! While the occasionally hilarious big-screen
Candy
should amuse hardcore fans, it may leave casual audiences confused or disappointed."

C-
"... for the most part is not particularly funny."
Ozus' World Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
2.5/4
"Flaws and all,
Strangers with Candy
has one invaluable thing going for it: the utterly fearless and downright brilliant comic performance of Amy Sedaris."
TheMovieBoy.com
Dustin Putman
3/4
"Easily the most quotable movie of the year."
Slant Magazine
Ed Gonzalez
B-
"Certainly the first 30 minutes of this film are among the most hilarious first 30 minutes of any film. Pity it couldn't last."

Eric D. Snider
"What separates
Strangers with Candy
from other high school comedies, or from most mainstream comedies in general, is the cast's total dedication to their parts."
DVD Review
Felix Gonzalez Jr.
C-
"To the uninitiated likely to be...one of those supposedly hip movies that you'll probably leave with a distinctly sour taste in your mouth."
One Guy's Opinion
Frank Swietek
"At its best, an episode of the series felt like an hour's worth of comedy crammed into 22 minutes, while the movie feels more like an hour's worth of comedy stretched out to feature length."
Pajiba
Jeremy C. Fox
2.5/4
"In spite of its demented flavor, the movie surprisingly doesn't push the envelope the way the series did."
Mark Reviews Movies
Mark Dujsik
"[T]here's demented, and then there's the plain sick and twisted tastlessness and hilarious audacity of this afterschool special gone horribly, wonderfully wrong."
Flick Filosopher
MaryAnn Johanson
3.5/5
"Despite its faithfulness and frequent funniness, Jerri's big-screen (mis)adventure never provides more laughs than one of Comedy Central's TV-on-DVD compilations."
Filmcritic.com
Nick Schager
B
"It roars along with reckless abandon, skewering everything in its path."
Laramie Movie Scope
Robert Roten
D
"I would rather be abandoned in the fiery [heat] of Death Valley than be subjected to
Strangers with Candy
again, even in an air-conditioned theater!"
Reeling Reviews
Robin Clifford
7/10
"Completely over the top and proud of it."
Monsters and Critics
Ron Wilkinson
B-
"Amy Sedaris is a dementedly funny horror as Jerri Blank (in) the aggressively politically incorrect prequel to the cult Comedy Central series."
Seattle Post-Intelligencer
Sean Axmaker
3/4
"Walks a fine line of comedic self-awareness, and only on occasion loses us in a haze of condescending wit."
Charlotte Weekly
