David Rooney The Hollywood Reporter 1d
Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die doesn’t quite deliver on the sardonic promise of its catchy title, but its appealing cast and Verbinski’s flair for kinetic action set pieces make it a reasonably entertaining entry in the canon of gonzo sci-fi comedies. Go to Full Review
Tim Grierson Screen International 3d
Gore Verbinski's first feature in nearly a decade taps into contemporary anxieties about how technology robs us of our humanity, but the execution proves too glib and too proud of its own nihilistic spirit. Go to Full Review
Justin Clark Slant Magazine Jan 29
3/4
Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die’s obviousness only makes its proximity to the real-life A.I. slop invasion more unnerving, and the extent of what humanity has accepted for convenience’s sake more abhorrent. Go to Full Review
Avi Offer NYC Movie Guru 12h
A wildly entertaining sci-fi action comedy that's funny, thrilling, campy and delightfully bonkers. Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die deserves to be a cult classic like Donnie Darko and 12 Monkeys. Go to Full Review

A full-service, anything-goes dark comedy about the dangers of artificial intelligence that’s crammed with visual inventiveness, narrative left turns, and eccentric characters. Go to Full Review
