- 63Movie NationRoger MooreMovie NationRoger MooreNot great, not [a] picture that will change the shape of musical theater. But the playful, sweet, pointed and sometimes poignant Stuck is certainly worth the 85 minutes it’ll take you to watch it.
- 60VarietyEddie CockrellVarietyEddie Cockrell“Oftentimes these connections are neglected or rejected,” sings Lloyd early on to complete the couplet, “but every now and then the universe succeeds.” So, in its sincere and refreshingly scrappy way, does Stuck.
- 38RogerEbert.comMatt FagerholmRogerEbert.comMatt FagerholmIt’s not a film so much as a lecture punctuated by a patronizing moral, and more importantly, it’s not much fun.
- 30The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckThe Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckUnfortunately, their strenuous efforts (and Esposito tries very, very hard) aren't enough to lift the material above abject hokeyness. This is a film that makes subway riding seem such a miserable experience, you suspect it's been bankrolled by Uber.
- 30The New York TimesGlenn KennyThe New York TimesGlenn KennyWhen the characters are singing, you can’t wait for them to get back to talking. And when they’re talking, you can’t wait for them to get back to singing. After a while, you start wishing you were watching that TV ad with a bunch of people on a bus, singing about how they have a structured settlement but they need cash now.
- 30Film ThreatBobby LePireFilm ThreatBobby LePireThe direction keeps things visually engaging, and the editing is flawless. Sadly, for me, the stories don’t connect well enough to justify the whole fated aspect and all but a single song, in this musical, are some of the worst I have had to ever endure.
