Critic Reviews

  • John Anderson, Variety

    Whimsy and the macabre are the operating systems in Just Add Water, and they're not always complementary.

  • Brent Simon, Shared Darkness

    Actor-turned-auteur Hart Bochner's unconvincing, willfully quirky, dryly comic tale of ensemble empowerment is brought low by hopelessly on-the-nose dialogue.

  • Ernest Hardy, L.A. Weekly

    Walsh nearly redeems the whole thing: His eyes flicker with an intelligence that isn't in the script, and he graces his character with layers of inner life in a film that coasts on surfaces.

  • James A


    A dissapointing cheesy 80's movie that had its moments.

  • Yinalí R


    Weird movie.

  • Sarah P


    As a comedy, it doesn't quite make it... The story is alright, but the acting isn't great and it's pretty cheesy. There are some funny parts and was okay overall.
