 "As a comedy, the film aims low and manages to miss the mark entirely.... an assemblage of blockbuster clichés... calculated, hollow, completely meaningless..." |

 "...exudes an unmistakable, odious attitude of feigned trendiness, bawdiness, and wisdom from the start.... a wasteful study of the white and privileged..." |

 "A class-five pity party unbearably condescending and unconvincing... it makes an inadvertent but hugely compelling pro-bullying argument." |

 "The script deals in reactionary emotions... the self-seriousness of the film underlines both the laziness of the writing and the dull safety of the direction." |

 "...goes to considerable lengths to eliminate every scrap of evidence to suggest that the film was made by an individual with personal emotions, memories, and opinions." |

 "...shallow, cowardly, and violent... unmistakably misogynistic and irksome... the film proves to be truly careless and hypocritical in its view of violence..." |

 "...an abysmal supernatural ordeal 'presented' by Sam Raimi.... a bag of cliché-ridden tricks, donning the ever-dubious label of being 'based on a true story'..." |

Poor |
 "...lacks any daring expressive touches... Much of the film's interior shots of the house feel lifted from B-roll of a real estate magnate's promotional material..." |

 "...seems interested in nothing so much as the struggles of Phil Campbell in finding his middle-class self.... a deeply confused, blindly aggressive political comedy." |

 "By ensuring that tongue is incapable of locating cheek, the filmmakers exude a distinct ignorance... they have no sense of how to have full-tilt fun..." |

 "Clichés abound... trades in thoughtless, thuggish posturing, notable only for an involving-enough 'Heat'-meets-'Point Break' heist centerpiece." |

 "...it all comes out atonal.... Coscarelli seems to take the story's dark absurdist randomness as an invitation to make a sloppy, surprisingly uninventive film..." |

Poor |
 "The product of an unsure, overcompensating workaday director... as incompetent, manipulative, safe, and disposable as any number of nickel-and-dime actioners..." |

 "Such blandness and evasiveness is surprising given that the film is the product of two formidable, often gutsy filmmakers." |

 "...bullies us into being scared instead of actually embracing the violence, bloodshed, and all-consuming perversity it constantly, blandly implies and insinuates." |

 "Stephen Chbosky's boldly cheesy script suggests a fantasia of concurrent self-pity and self-aggrandizement, set to a vaguely hip soundtrack..." |

 "Nick Murphy expresses no recognizable, personal style, and his insistence on the grim seriousness of his pulpy premise corrodes the pace of the narrative." |

 "...a movie with a robot, where the robot has no reason to be one other than to provide a hook for an otherwise intolerably mundane story..." |

 "...so rigidly formulaic and lethargically spun that even the looseness and spontaneity that the setting affords feels dull and constricting." |

 "By the time this elliptical story makes its way back around, whatever good vibes that its two leads have shared has been overshadowed by a series of half-cocked attempts to make 'Stuck Between Stations' 'matter.' " |
