Dennis Harvey Variety 04/04/2020
"Lazy Susan" aims hazily between the sad-sack valentine likes of "Muriel's Wedding" and something more satirically misanthropic, missing a target it never quite commits to in the first place. Go to Full Review Michael Rechtshaffen Los Angeles Times 04/04/2020
[W]hile the Nick Peet-directed film has its cheerfully outrageous moments... even mild shock value in the time of an epidemic might not be just what the doctor ordered. Go to Full Review Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times 04/04/2020
3/4
Instead of being condescending about the Wisconsin characters and their mediocre lives, the comedy shows fondness for them. Go to Full Review Sandie Angulo Chen Common Sense Media 06/04/2020
1/5
Talented cast can't save underwhelming comedy. Go to Full Review Dominic Griffin Spectrum Culture 04/07/2020
1/5
But the problem is without that kind of arc, the audience is being asked to watch an insufferably selfish person be irritating for an hour and a half with little to no dramatic progression or catharsis. Go to Full Review Todd Jorgenson Cinemalogue 04/03/2020
... plays like a failed sitcom pilot, differentiated by nonchalant acceptance of Susan's sexuality. That's nice, yet the film isn't nearly funny or clever enough to be considered progressive. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Hania T @RT41789155 11h I thought this film was hilarious and charming. Really enjoyed watching it. See more Mary C @mkctoo Aug 9 I thought it was ridiculously hilarious See more Kristopher M. @Murmur78 Feb 9 I know a lazy Susan. I think it accurately depicted what everyone around her goes through. We’re still waiting for her breakthrough. See more Cindy H. @CHarris40 Feb 4 I like a good, off-beat movie. This is that. See more Priscila L @Pdawg 05/03/2025 It felt like I was watching a short series, not a movie, and I really enjoyed it. It’s silly and funny. See more Anthony W @RT60846141 03/26/2025 It's stupid funny. Yes, the charter is an obvious sad sack, but the underlining message is real. people need to learn to love their self before they can love anyone else. Sean Hays is actually good in my opinion, the rest of the cast is definitely better than the plot. A little weak. BUT, I'd recommend this film to anyone who has ever been down on themselves.
