Spa Weekend (2026)

The critic sees the film as a messy but spirited vehicle for its four funny leads, calling it unhinged and sometimes funny despite flaws. She singles out the strong ensemble chemistry among Leslie Mann, Isla Fisher, Michelle Buteau and Anna Faris.

The critic finds it a formulaic but fun buddy comedy that satirizes wellness culture with laughs and heart, though clunky at times. Praises the leads' performances, especially Buteau's jokes.

The critic calls the film a dire, scattershot comedy that feels like a weak Bad Moms companion piece, with little convincing character work or sustained laughs. She singles out the underused leads and repetitive, SNL-sketch-like set pieces.

The critic sees it as a missed opportunity for sharp satire on self-care and middle-aged life, with some laughs but relying on clichés and weak script; verdict is negative, not worth taking the trip.

The critic finds the film a disappointing comedy where a likable cast is let down by tame hijinks and shallow emotion. She singles out the talented stars' underutilization despite their skills shown in better films.

The review notes the film satirizes wellness culture but finds the jokes tired and predictable, with archetypal characters; it suggests the high-concept comedy genre is waning, though Fisher's performance is highlighted positively in parts.

The critic finds the comedy hacky and condescending, criticizing the directors for their approach to female characters, but praises Isla Fisher's energetic performance as the chaotic friend who brings liberation to the group.

The film is a dud comedy without gags that is afraid to be funny or mean-spirited. It turns the premise of a chaotic friends' spa weekend into overly sentimental slush instead of sharp humour.

This female-led farce is woefully weak and joyless, with precious few laughs despite the cast. It recycles a tired formula of messy slapstick that falls flat compared to better ensemble comedies.

The critic finds the film a humorless and mediocre buddy comedy that fails to deliver laughs or originality despite a talented cast of comedians. Michelle Buteau's more developed character and performance are singled out as the strongest element amid otherwise half-baked material and perfunctory gags.
