- 70New York Magazine (Vulture)Bilge EbiriNew York Magazine (Vulture)Bilge EbiriThe flaws are part of the overall effect — spontaneous and human. The reason Broken Lizard seems to keep making cult movies is because when you watch them, you feel like you were there when they made it. Broken Lizard is all of us.
- 60SlashfilmWitney SeiboldSlashfilmWitney SeiboldDespite the film's clear edict to include as many tasteless jokes as possible . . . Quasi possesses a strangely disarming, hangout quality, leaving it feeling ultimately harmless and even a little bit friendly.
- 60The New York TimesBrandon YuThe New York TimesBrandon YuIt’s dumb fun that is at times entertaining, at times flat.
- 50Screen RantNadir SamaraScreen RantNadir SamaraThe film is far from perfect, but also does not attempt to be. Accents aside, the jokes are solid and don’t require a great plot to land. Quasi won’t blow anyone away, but it has its moments.
- 50ColliderErick MassotoColliderErick MassotoWith disregard to elements it itself establishes and featuring more characters than it knows what to do with, the film forgets to flesh out its comedic potential and sticks to the repetition of a handful of jokes, even when some of them fall flat.
- 50RogerEbert.comBrian TallericoRogerEbert.comBrian TallericoUltimately, Quasi is a decent effort from talented dudes but a missed opportunity at something memorably hilarious. It's a few decent jokes in search of a better movie that needed a bit more improvisational effort in the comedy department and a lot more shaping in the editing room.
- 48Paste MagazineJesse HassengerPaste MagazineJesse HassengerThere are plenty of little chuckles throughout, but the movie doesn’t incorporate seemingly throwaway gags into its narrative like an expertly timed Harold-style improv. More often, it feels like the Broken Lizard boys are trying to salvage what works and re-use as much of it as possible.
- 40VarietyTodd GilchristVarietyTodd GilchristGiven that this project is piloted by Broken Lizard, it’s clear that “Quasi” is meant to be a comedy, but there are enough long stretches where no jokes are even attempted that you’d be forgiven for thinking that laughs were only an incidental goal.
