Table 19's reviews
Media reviews
The Hollywood Reporter
Anna Kendrick has a recent track record of being decisively better than the movies she?s in. Table 19, an innocuous but misguided mess written and directed by Jeffrey Blitz from a story by Mark and Jay Duplass, continues the trend.
Indiewire
Blitz manages to land the occasional punchline, but the smattering of decent jokes only call further attention to the film?s complete lack of rhythm.
Variety
This is the sort of movie in which the characters start off telling fibs and tossing off rim-shot jibes, but within 45 minutes they?ve become a makeshift ?family? of eccentrics who?ve got each other?s backs. Almost everything that happens in ?Table 19? rings cloyingly false. The movie wants to make you laugh and cry, but you may be too busy cringing.
The Guardian
After the unnatural way it plops this gruesome group in their social Siberia, it goes from (alleged) comedy to serious drama with all the subtlety of a 10-year-old playing Mario Kart.
