	Author	Review
United States	Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter	"The screenplay rambles at times, with too many scenes meandering aimlessly with little impact. But it does present an incisive portrait of middle-aged men refusing to grow up"	NEU
United States	Alan Scherstuhl Village Voice	"'Bernard and Huey' bristles with anxious, circuitous, hilarious talk (...) [The story] isn’t as inspired as the best speeches or Rash’s performance"	NEU
United States	Glenn Kenny The New York Times	"[It] bristles with Mr. Feiffer’s inimitable wit (...) The less good news is that Mr. Mirvish is working from a script that’s been kicking around since the mid-1980s, and it shows"	NEU
United States	Matt Zoller Seitz The New York Times	"A lovingly detailed look at two unhappy and unpleasant men (...) You may wonder why the film hasn't been updated a bit, to bring it into the 21st century (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"	NEU
United States	William Bibbiani The Wrap	"Jules Feiffer’s cartoon characters don’t translate to 3 dimensions (...) 'Bernard and Huey' isn’t particularly funny (...) It isn’t particularly tragic"	NEG
