	Author	Review
United States	Matt Donato SlashFilm	"It's a hilarious low-low-budget, rough-around-the-edges oddity that makes me very happy, and I hope someday it'll make you feel the same crisp beaver-beatin' joy"	POS
Canada	Kurt Halfyard Screen Anarchy	"If you have even the slightest love for slap stick comedy and goofball antics, then this will undoubtedly be the most gut-busting time you have at the movies this year.	POS
United States	Nick Schager The Daily Beast	"A marvel of slapstick invention that in terms of pure unbridled creativity puts most big-screen comedies to shame"	POS
Canada	Hannah Rose CBR	"Although it drags on in places and challenges the squeamish, 'Hundreds of Beavers' signals that the long winter for comedy is coming to an end"	NEU
United States	Dennis Harvey Variety	"On paper, it would hardly be expected to remain funny for eight minutes, let alone 108. But this ingeniously home-made lark never runs out of steam"	POS
United States	Meg Shields Film School Rejects	"This is dam good stuff"	POS
Australia	Nadine Whitney The Curb	"A literal riot and beyond your wildest expectations"	POS
United States	Luke Y. Thompson AV Club	"You won't see another movie quite like this one, but that's not always for the better"	NEG
United States	Robert Abele Los Angeles Times	"You haven’t experienced anything remotely like it (...) As visionary as any indie in many a moon, and a dam site more fun"	POS
Canada	Andrew Parker The Gate	"Mike Cheslik and Ryland Brickson Cole Tews adhere to one of Mel Brooks' biggest rules of comedy: keep the gags coming at such a fast and furious rate that there’s always something for everybody to be amused by"	POS
United States	Jacob Oller Paste Magazine	"There's nothing funnier than 'Hundreds of Beavers'"	POS
United States	Richard Whittaker Austin Chronicle	"'Hundreds of Beavers' works because everyone involved knows to deliver the whimsy with a straight face (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 5)"	POS
