- 70The New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisThe New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisThis is Ms. Cattrall's movie all the way. Photographed more cruelly than a tabloid victim, she gives Monica a grubby dignity that her "Sex and the City" alter ego, Samantha Jones, would wholeheartedly applaud.
- 67IndieWireEric KohnIndieWireEric KohnLike the poster, Meet Monica Velour is engaging to a point, but leaves much to be desired.
- 63New York PostLou LumenickNew York PostLou LumenickWriter-director Keith Bearden was also smart enough to round up a couple of other old pros: Brian Dennehy, as the hero's eccentric grandfather, and Keith David, as a wise collector of pop-culture artifacts.
- 60The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckThe Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckThe effectively deglamorized Cattrall is terrific, investing her portrayal with a complex mixture of vulnerability, toughness and still-powerful sexuality.
- 60Boxoffice MagazineRichard MoweBoxoffice MagazineRichard MoweBoth emotionally charged and at times extremely funny, with humor emerging naturally from the characters' predicaments, Meet Monica Velour has the feel-good factor without comprising its ideals.
- 50Village VoiceVillage VoiceThe result is unbalanced by cartoonish flourishes-Ingram's performance being the chief offender-that overpower Cattrall's subtler character work.
- In some ways this film's biggest failing is that it can't decide who's story it is telling.
- 40New York Daily NewsJoe NeumaierNew York Daily NewsJoe NeumaierThe deepest chord is hit by Cattrall, who almost manages to wipe away the memory of "Sex and the City 2."
- 20Time OutNick SchagerTime OutNick SchagerThe film succeeds only in turning one's stomach via implausibilities, inanities and the unwelcome sight of Brian Dennehy's naked ass.
