Daily Telegraph (UK)

Coen wrote Honey Don’t with his wife Tricia Cooke, and the film has the unfortunate air of two self-styled Cool Parents gatecrashing their mortified teenage daughter’s sleepover.

Rated: 1/5

Alison Willmore

New York Magazine/Vulture

Despite the verve of the film, there’s no there there — just an exercise in quippy banter and witty violence that works well enough to remind you of better movies.

David Jenkins

Little White Lies

The overriding feeling you glean from Honey Don’t is that it’s an example of two formidable filmmakers working in a register that almost punkishly rejects the intricacy and breathtaking formal panache of their past work.

Tim Miller

Cape Cod Wave Magazine

Director Ethan Coen, working with a screenplay he wrote with wife Tricia Cooke, chooses style over substance with this half-baked neo-noir comedy.

Rated: 2/4

IGN Movies

Honey Don’t! lacks both visual pizzazz and the kind Coen-esque edge that made the brothers’ previous capers shine.

Rated: 5/10

Shannon Cotter

Film Ireland Magazine

Cooke and Coen’s ability to treat this spin on the genre so casually is what makes it feel so natural: the queer love affairs, the wit of the punchlines, the sunbaked hardness of Bakersfield glazing across the screen.
