Rick Kisonak MovieWeb (Top Critic)

60

Over the top, improbable, as cheesy as stuffed crust pizza and immensely entertaining.

Owen Gleiberman Entertainment Weekly (Top Critic)

It doesn't take long for the film to devolve into a ludicrously far-fetched Celebrity Death Wish.

Dave Kehr New York Times (Top Critic)

Amazingly arrogant, immoral film.

For anyone who's ever wondered how good it would feel to knock down a photographer with his car and then back over him.

The film is directed by Paul Abascal who exhibits all the subtlety you would expect from a director who got his start as a celebrity hair stylist.

Joe Leydon Variety (Top Critic)

Visually uninspired and dramatically overheated, Paparazzi has overall look and feel of generic direct-to-video production.

Megan Lehmann New York Post (Top Critic)

A cheeseball revenge thriller with an alarmingly twisted moral.

One has the sense that if the level of violence had been ratcheted up a little, Paparazzi might have been more of a guilty pleasure and less of a chore to watch.

Kirk Honeycutt Hollywood Reporter (Top Critic)

Burdened with wooden acting and a laughable, Death Wish-like premise.

Kevin Thomas Los Angeles Times (Top Critic)

50

No serious exploration of the issue of the invasion of privacy of celebrities but a classic exploitation picture -- topical, punchy, occasionally unintentionally laughable and morally dubious.

It's not a good sign when a director's primary claim to fame is as Mel Gibson's former hair stylist.

Loathsome doesn't begin to describe it. How about "toxic"?

Paparazzi just takes itself too seriously.
