Critical responseedit
Upon its release, The Fluffy Movie was met with mixed reviews.

Frank Scheck of The Hollywood Reporter gave a positive review of the film, remarking that Iglesias "delivers a solid set of often highly personal material that’s consistently amusing even if it never quite hits the level of hilarity". He further noted that Iglesias "is a likeable presence, and his fluid delivery, complete with spot-on accents and sound effects, is consistently engaging."[8] Conversely, Kyle Anderson of Entertainment Weekly gave the film a C and said, "While Iglesias is perfectly competent as a comedian, he lacks the ability to really wrap his arms around his own personal narrative."[9] Mark Jenkins of The Washington Post gave the film two-and-a-half stars, writing that the film's "principal weakness is that it’s not much of a movie". However, Jenkins went on to note that "The balance between the hilarious and the heartwarming is carefully maintained."[10]
