What to Know

Critics Consensus

Very little is off-limits in Mother Schmuckers' gleefully offensive pursuit of provocation -- unfortunately, it often mistakes shock value for genuine laughs.

Co-writer/co-director duo Harpo and Lenny Guits apparent disregard for their viewers comfort can sometimes be quite funny, depending on your tolerance for messy, meandering absurdist comedy. Go to Full Review Jeannette Catsoulis New York Times 03/03/2022
I would say words fail me, but they don’t. It’s just that most of them are unprintable. Go to Full Review Guy Lodge Variety 03/01/2021
The Guits' provocation is about as amiable as something so abjectly appalling can be, though it's perhaps a few jaw-dropping shocks (or a few uproarious belly-laughs) short of the cult status it seeks. Go to Full Review Ally Ham Video Librarian Magazine 07/21/2024
Where tonally-similar films succeed in subtle comedic presentation, Mother Schmuckers stares its viewers in the face as it drops over-the-top and obscene jokes, waiting for the laughs that will never come. Go to Full Review Vadim Rizov Filmmaker Magazine 11/29/2022
Nobody’s idea of essential, it’s edited with ruthless precision, better-crafted than most of the Sundance films I’ve seen so far and, for all its presumptive shock factor, has good energy... Go to Full Review Tim Brennan About Boulder 03/14/2022
The new Belgian comedy Mother Schmuckers wants to be a trashterpiece like Pink Flamingoes. It likely wont be since its not really rebelling against anything. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
