Richard Lawson IndieWire Jan 29
By the end of the film, I was quite enjoying spending some time with them, despite wanting so badly to flee the scene at the beginning of the film. I suppose that, once in a while, an acquired taste proves all the more satisfying. Go to Full Review Tim Grierson Screen International Jan 26
The film refuses to go in predictable directions, unveiling bizarre side characters and travelling down odd narrative backroads. But that occasional bagginess also allows for a richly textured picture bursting with energy. Go to Full Review Carlos Aguilar Variety Jan 25
Sure, the case can be made for this contrast between scatological humor and serious insight working as a mirror for how quickly a person’s reality can shift from joy to sorrow, but the overall effect is puzzling. Go to Full Review Nick Johnston Vanyaland 1d
What will stick with you are the laughs, from Jackson’s drug-fueled interactions with the motel manager and eventual eruption at Thames’ character, to Franco’s bluster and queasy stomach, to Braun and Dinklage’s characters’ circumstances and schemes.

8/10
Ultimately, a road trip comedy and drug comedy first, The Shitheads still manages to craft some heart. You’ll root for two idiots that belong in a Carl Hiaasen book, and you’ll laugh step of the way. Go to Full Review Joey Magidson Awards Radar 4d
3/4
