	Author	Review
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"Albert Dupontel stars in his own hectic romp, which tries and fails to be funny (...) Some French films, like wine, don’t travel. This one turns to vinegar (...) Rating: ★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United Kingdom	Kevin Maher The Times	"[It] will be a delight to anyone who associates French cinema with audience-pleasing Amélie-style whimsy rather than, say, sex, despair and the films of Juliette Binoche (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
	Fabien Lemercier Cineuropa	"An exciting and intense burlesque tragedy, a wonderful mainstream film laced with black humour and offering a caustic view on the digitalised woes of contemporary society"	POS
United States	Mark Keizer Variety	"[It] pales in comparison to its influences (...) Dupontel pushes things to the edge of credibility and beyond."	NEG
United Kingdom	Ian Freer Empire	"'Bye Bye Morons' is a wild jaunt that segues into something much more sincere. Come for the laughs, stay for the feels (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
Hong Kong	James Marsh South China Morning Post	"For all its dazzling production design and spirited buffoonery, the film is achingly unfunny (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
