"A lowbrow, lame-brained mash-up of buddies-on-patrol comedy and sci-fi actioner."

Variety
Variety"If you can ignore the disturbing parallels with recent events, this middle-aged, Middle-American Attack The Block raises a laugh."

Total Film
Total Film"You're unlikely to laugh much, and you may get an unexpected case of the non-art-imitates-bad-life creeps."

Time Magazine
Time Magazine"Directed by Akiva Schaffer from a screenplay by Jared Stern, Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, the movie clumsily juggles two loosely connected concepts."
—
The New York Times
The New York Times"It's got a cast to kill for, a Seth Rogen/Evan Goldberg script (they wrote Superbad) and a promisingly Ghostbusters-ish premise. And yet it's catastrophic."
—
The Guardian
The Guardian"Then there's the movie itself, which should be crazy, stupid fun but settles for just stupid."
—
Rolling Stone
Rolling Stone"A career low for everyone involved."
—
Little White Lies
Little White Lies"Lacking the bite of 'Attack The Block', Stiller and co. are happy to fall back on their usual shtick, with director Schaffer providing barely enough juice to power the laughs."
