2/4
A highly engineered product. There isn’t a scene in it that won’t remind you of some other comedy, particularly “The Hangover.” Go to Full Review
John Anderson Wall Street Journal 1d
72 Hours hangs everyone out to dry, even on the beaches of Miami, where hedonism, bikinis and gangsters are the unavoidable appointments of exhausted storytelling. Go to Full Review

Even when making Hart the butt of chopped-unc jokes, though, there’s plenty of ego preservation for the unabashed star-producer Go to Full Review

1/5
Never one to be too discerning when it comes to projects, Hart and his one-trick shtick shuffle their way through p----s jokes, dodgy racial stereotyping, and gags that never take off, let alone land. Go to Full Review
Mark Meszoros The News-Herald (Willoughby, OH) 1d
2.5/4
The latest straight-to-Netflix offering from comedian and actor Kevin Hart’s HartBeat Productions, 72 Hours, accomplishes its implied mission: be a poor man’s version of The Hangover. Go to Full Review
Jennifer Green Common Sense Media 2d
3/5
Kevin Hart, John Cena, and Mark Wahlberg are perfecting the formula, as seen in this film, of raunchy comedies featuring grown men learning emotional lessons via improbable scenarios. Go to Full Review

Hazza F @Hazza10723 4h At first, I was worried that the film's Hangover-style chaos would be too much, but its ridiculousness ends up being one of its greatest strengths. Not only the protagonist but also the supporting characters are given enough depth to show their humanity, flaws, and growth, allowing the film to balance its entertainment surprisingly well. The screenplay is fairly conventional, but the story unfolds in a more engaging way than expected, with very few dull moments thanks to its steady pacing. Some of the comedic scenes are honestly pretty bad, but if you embrace their absurdity, they become part of the fun. It may not leave a lasting impression, but it's an enjoyable film that knows exactly what it wants to be. See more Vincent S @Vin_E_At_The_Movies 7h I expected this to be very bad but I have seen way worse. A Hangover rip off that isn’t half as funny or well written. Kevin Hart does have an admirable go for it energy and the rest of the cast do a decent job of backing Hart up. See more Madan M @RT77567747 10h Thank goodness there's a 0.5-star rating, because this movie earned every bit of it. I have absolutely no idea why 72 Hours was made. Ironically, the funniest moments were the bloopers during the end credits. I usually love both Kevin Hart and Andy Garcia, but their talents were completely wasted here. The comedy was more cringe than funny, relying on tired slapstick and every predictable cliché in the book. The plot was paper-thin, and the ending was about as exciting as the ice melting in a slushie—completely anticlimactic. I honestly can't recommend it. It's not even one of those "get stoned and watch it" movies. The only redeeming quality? The cinematography. The Miami locations looked fantastic, and some of the sunset shots were genuinely beautiful. Those frames almost made me book another trip to Miami. Unfortunately, great scenery isn't enough to save what is otherwise a painfully forgettable film. See more Daniel Y @danielyem 11h Funny stuff for real See more joseph W @JoeWitsky 11h Plagiarism at its finest. Unoriginal and boring with very few funny scenes. My favorite part was when it ended. See more Jack W @RT81901056 13h Movie was a blast to watch, the best comedic acting I’ve seen since The Hangover. Genuinely gave the message that nobody else matters in life but your loved ones. Wonderful movie 10/10 was laughing the whole time. See more Read all reviews
