If Wine Country was meant to help women find humour amid the humdrum of their lives, it misses the mark spectacularly.

Full Review | May 15, 2024

It’s fun just to see all these SNL greats back together again. That alone makes the movie worth watching.

Full Review | Original Score: C+ | May 10, 2024

Wine Country is a decent look at female friendship but it has a lot of flaws.

Full Review | Original Score: 5/10 | Jan 21, 2023

It’s a real comfort-food movie, and that’s apparently all Poehler and her team wanted to make. Don’t they deserve to? Don’t we deserve to have one?

Full Review | Original Score: B | Aug 24, 2022

Amy Poehler’s Wine Country has its flaws, but also has something Hollywood needs to make more of: Female-centric films that are smart, genuine, and offer something real.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 19, 2022

Wine Country offers the expected laughs from seasoned comedians but could've used a boost in the storytelling department.

Full Review | Feb 18, 2021

Pop psychology and pratfalls aside, it's great fun to spend time with these women as they figure out their lives and relationships.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jan 31, 2021

A boozy brunch of a flick that isn't exactly laugh-out-loud funny, but is consistently amusing in an appetizing setting with characters we care about.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Jul 24, 2020

You will likely be amused now and then, even if this isn't a primo vintage comedy moment for lady kind.

Full Review | Jan 24, 2020

This seems like one of those films where everyone got in a room with a rough idea of what was happening and ad-libbed, expecting the results to be natural cohesive comedy genius.

Full Review | Original Score: C- | Jan 8, 2020

Grab a glass of pinot and have fun in Wine Country.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 22, 2019

A disappointment like this from so much potential is more than just lame, it's a crying shame.

Full Review | Aug 1, 2019

Wine Country is a much-needed break with what feels like old friends.

Full Review | Original Score: 4.5/5 | Jul 31, 2019

The stars' second-nature chemistry is appealing, and an encounter with an artist who paints scenes from the old TV sitcom The Nanny is pretty darn funny.

Full Review | Jun 19, 2019

There are lots of paella jokes, if that helps temper your expectations.

Full Review | Original Score: C | Jun 18, 2019

It just won't hold the audience over throughout, and fans of the female SNL icons likely will be disappointed.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jun 15, 2019

Considering the number of truly talented actors involved, the laughs prove surprisingly irregular. Lumbering where it should be spry, Country wanders from setpiece to setpiece.

Full Review | May 30, 2019

Wine Country lacks the vibrant energy, zany antics, touching warmth, and sharp wit that you are likely to associate with names like Poehler and Fey.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | May 30, 2019

Wine Country may not be the movie you expect, but it is pleasant enough reminder to not take life too seriously, let your friends support you, and that sometimes... you need some R&R.

Full Review | May 30, 2019

In Wine Country, Amy Poehler, Maya Rudolph, Rachel Dratch, Ana Gasteyer, Paula Pell, and Emily Spivey all seem to be having a blast, but the resultant movie is unfunny and forgettable.
