Vince Vaughn gives an enjoyably demented performance in an otherwise highly derivative teen-party movie that fails to do much with an intriguing parodic premise
this is an amusing lowest common denominator comedy. At other times, however, cringingly unfunny, almost disregarding its own premise in the hope of capitalizing on a joke that's never going to work; "The Binge" is ultimately wasted potential for satire
this is a raucous, happily irresponsible party that should help locked-in, bottled-up Americans release some steam; this is just the kind of pic that becomes several times as funny when seen in a packed theater
sloppy and obnoxious; No amount of booze could make this Hulu teen comedy seem funny; In addition to the flat performances and the virtually laugh-free script, "The Binge" suffers from some seriously clunky editing
Hulu's teen comedy is mind-numbing, but fun; "The Binge" is as ridiculous as its premise implies, which can be fun at times, while others it's a bit like a wild ride you wish you could get off
a radically uneven comedy that's ultimately satisfying enough; It's simply a movie that is purely scattershot with moments that are both hilarious and absolutely terrible
"The Binge" isn't afraid to lean into its own stupidity; There is an underlying sweetness to the film. It's hidden under mounds of cocaine and gallons of booze, but it's there. A commitment to friendship is what really drives the movie
