- 50ReelViewsJames BerardinelliReelViewsJames BerardinelliSupercon has its moments, although not nearly enough of them, and its grossest-of-gross-out scenes might be disgusting enough to cause John Waters to wince.
- 20VarietyDennis HarveyVarietyDennis HarveyThe humor misfires painfully even when it just tries to be charming.
- 10Village VoiceAbbey BenderVillage VoiceAbbey BenderMore than anything else, Supercon is a drag: The heist plot offers none of the excitement typically associated with the genre. If you find repeated use of the phrase “ball cancer” hilarious, you’ll be well served; if you don’t, well, it’s a tough sit.
- 10The New York TimesTeo BugbeeThe New York TimesTeo BugbeeSupercon offers lip service to fan culture, yet it is difficult to imagine who would enjoy watching this ill-conceived satire. Directed by Zak Knutson, who also contributed to the screenplay, the movie is careless with its setting, callous toward its characters and crass about its audience.
- 10Los Angeles TimesMichael RechtshaffenLos Angeles TimesMichael RechtshaffenWhile clearly aiming for R-rated irreverence, the script, penned by former Kevin Smith assistant Knutson, along with Andy Snipes and Dana Snyder, proceeds to hurl a tired barrage of obnoxious sexist/racist/homophobic sludge, with humor that seldom rises above crotch level.
- 10The Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeThe Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeThe action doesn't start until an hour into the picture, and is as unimaginative as everything that has preceded it.
