- While The Late Bloomer comes to a bit too wrapped-up-in-a-bow resolution, it's still a refreshing reminder of just how pervasive sex is and how much it plays a role in everyone's lives.
- 50Village VoiceSherilyn ConnellyVillage VoiceSherilyn ConnellyThough Pollak's direction in his first narrative feature is solid, The Late Bloomer is mostly an excuse for predictable sex jokes and ample toplessness.
- 40Los Angeles TimesKimber MyersLos Angeles TimesKimber MyersEven a talented cast can’t overcome the script from five screenwriters, whose uneven final product is surprisingly bland for all its raunchiness.
- 40The New York TimesNeil GenzlingerThe New York TimesNeil GenzlingerTo make the premise of a 30-year-old who acts like a 15-year-old work, Mr. Pollak has made everyone else in the film act like a 15-year-old, too. It doesn’t quite click.
- 38Movie NationRoger MooreMovie NationRoger MooreStand-up comic, impressionist and actor Kevin Pollack steps behind the camera for The Late Bloomer, a sweet-spirited if slightly rude rom com masquerading as a sex comedy.
- 30The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckThe Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckLead actor Johnny Simmons fits his role perfectly, his baby face giving him the suitable appearance of an overgrown adolescent. But the smutty, tired material with which he has to work is surprisingly devoid of laughs.
