- 60The Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeThe Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeThe script, by Beers and Mathew Harawitz, offers a little less invention in this endless-repeat scenario than it might have.
- 40The New York TimesNicolas RapoldThe New York TimesNicolas RapoldPremature bops along with a wiseacre self-awareness and a nimble cast... But Mr. Beers and his fellow screenwriter, Mathew Harawitz, also have a numbing Seth MacFarlane-esque weakness for purely attention-getting crudeness and unfunny stereotypes.
- 33The A.V. ClubMike D'AngeloThe A.V. ClubMike D'AngeloWatching Bill Murray go through the same scenario over and over is one thing. Experiencing the same feeble dick jokes over and over is another.
- 30The DissolveScott TobiasThe DissolveScott TobiasPremature isn’t nearly as inventive and witty as Groundhog Day or Edge Of Tomorrow about finding fresh angles on repeating events, and it overestimates how much the audience might care about the self-improvement of a bland, clueless douchebag.
- 30Village VoiceChris PackhamVillage VoiceChris PackhamPremature, you will be exhausted to hear, is a teen sex comedy with the plot of Groundhog Day, its supernatural comedy hearkening more to Scott Baio's Zapped! than to Porky's.
- 30VarietyJoe LeydonVarietyJoe LeydonPremature winds up resembling nothing so much as the coarsely smutty teen-sex comedies that abounded throughout the ’80s in the wake of “Porky’s.”
- 30Los Angeles TimesInkoo KangLos Angeles TimesInkoo KangA rapidly wearying comedy that mistakes crudeness with humor.
- 20New York Daily NewsElizabeth WeitzmanNew York Daily NewsElizabeth WeitzmanThe blatantly misogynistic treatment of the female characters, who exist solely to service Rob and his best friend (Craig Roberts), would have felt retrograde in a movie made decades ago.
