"Who knew Andrew Garfield had a performance in him like this? He manages to play the young, cocksure Hefner, as well as the slightly older public-image-based Hefner, lighting up the screen along the way." - Gillian Donaldson, Variety
"Covers all the standard biopic beats, but does so with an effortlessness and lightness thanks to the direction of Damien Chazelle and the charismatic performance from Andrew Garfield." - Ben Bernard, New York Times
"I would have expected a far more interesting film about such an interesting individual. Despite some highlights and some strong performances, American Playboy is ultimately a bit of a letdown." - Tim Greer, L.A. Weekly
