	Author	Review
United States	Alonso Duralde The Wrap	"The film plays like an un-asked-for collaboration between the Hallmark and Playboy Channels."	NEG
United States	John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter	"As dull as the first installment."	NEG
United Kingdom	Geoffrey Macnab The Independent	"Plot wise, the film is utterly threadbare and the sex scenes, which are fairly graphic at times, are always accompanied by syrupy rock music (…) Rating: ★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United States	Guy Lodge Variety	"Lacks its predecessor's surprising, feminine sass, but succeeds on its most superficial terms. (...) For all its structural and psychological deficiencies, it’s hard not to enjoy 'Fifty Shades Darker' on its own lusciously limited terms."	NEU
United Kingdom	Tim Grierson Screendaily	"[It] is a smorgasbord of silliness, its dopey pleasures indistinguishable from its many awkwardly melodramatic moments."	NEG
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"Fifty Shades Dumber is more like it. The only conviction Johnson and Dornan bring to their roles comes in their mutual awkwardness. (...) Rating: ½ (out of 4)"	NEG
United States	Manohla Dargis The New York Times	"[It] ranges from continuity issues to unsurprisingly risible writing. There are also abrupt swings in tone, dead-end detours and flatline performances, including from Ms. Johnson."	NEG
Australia	Leigh Paatsch Herald Sun	"Only Donald Trump is more shameless when it comes to the 24/7 flaunting of great wealth and poor taste (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
