Critical reception for 3 Geezers! has been overwhelmingly negative. On Metacritic the film has a rating of 9 out of 100 based on 5 reviews, indicating “overwhelming dislike”.[2][3]
News outlets such as the Los Angeles Times and The New York Times panned the film overall, with both reviewers criticizing the movie's humor as un-funny and the reviewer for the New York Times commented that "This film makes the dreadful TV show “Betty White's Off Their Rockers” seem sophisticated."[4][5]The Hollywood Reporter echoed these sentiments, stating that "Barely managing to fill its brief running time despite its surfeit of smuttily vulgar gags, 3 Geezers! proves a less than subtle argument for euthanasia."[6]Slant Magazine gave a slightly more positive review, remarking that the film's approach was "a creative one that makes the material easier to swallow, but it doesn't change the fact that this is basically a single joke on repeat for a stretched-out 80 minutes, and whether it's funny or well told is eventually beside the point."[7]
