Critics Consensus

Incoherent, unfunny, and borderline misogynist, Walk of Shame lives up to its title for filmgoers entering and leaving the theater.

This isn't as hateful as, say, The Other Woman. The concept's a little higher and the humiliation more cosmic.

1.5/5

The dire new comedy Walk Of Shame offers itself as a gender-reversed After Hours[...] It's a clever conceit,[...] If only it weren't so desperately unfunny.

An unintended nightmare scenario for women in Hollywood, and the persistent humiliation required just to get noticed.

0.5/5

Brill phenomenally wastes the proven comedic chops of Banks, Gillian Jacobs (“Community,” 2009-present), and Sarah Wright (“Celeste and Jesse Forever,” 2012) toward jokes without timing, a punchline, or even chuckle-worthy insight.

Silly, but weirdly satisfying.

The opening-credit montage featuring real-life news bloopers is funnier than anything in the script.

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, o elenco é mais ou menos, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, a história é fraca, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores, e a Elizabeth banks é fraca como protagonista.

It seems the critics hate this film. It's a sure sign it's a funny movie. I've been searching for a decent rom/com that isn't formulaic Hallmark/Lifetime or where the main character isn't extremely unlikeable and the main characters hate each other but find love anyway. Elizabeth Banks made her character fun, relatable and most of all likable, which so few rom/com actresses can pull off. Overall, it's an enjoyable rom/com. The situations were genuinely funny, especially as Meghan ventures home from the hood in her yellow dress. The situations are absurd, and yet the cast seems to make it work nonetheless. I had a good amount of laugh out loud moments watching this film. Gave it 4 stars.

Wanna find a great movie? Go for the one the critics hate. Like this one. This was such a hilarious movie, played brilliantly by the always charming and entertaining Elizabeth Banks. Recommended.

I really enjoyed this, it was fun and a bit different. Meghan goes on a night out with her friends, has too much fun and then follows the inevitable walk of shame. Only she has to be at work, and everything goes a bit pear shaped! It's harmless fun and worth watching with pals.
