“The joke should arise from the fact that private matters are made public and in this way shame is ridiculed. But the deliberate break of the image taboos alone is not funny and only testifies to the inhibition of the concept. The remarkable number of well-known Hollywood stars also makes the coarse humor unappreciable. "
“But maybe you're doing 'Movie 43' too much of the honor if you accuse it of political satire. This is probably just the result of a boozy company outing, during which those involved were allowed to really let the pig out and certainly had more fun than those who are now sitting in front of the screen and watching. "
“'Movie 43' is largely based on superficial gags, which, however, become more bizarre as they are embedded in the thoroughly weird setting of every short film. The acting performances correspond to the genre, only the disproportionate use of hearty vocabulary becomes a little tiring in the course of the hour and a half. The different film languages of the directors in 'Movie 43' make the film a varied comedy that definitely trains the laughing muscles. "
