Reaction: The film wasn't very expensive, so losses were kept minimal. Once again, a dark comedy from the studio fails to make much of a dent at the box office.
"To The Max takes a real life crime and has made a high energy black comedy romp out of it thanks to strong writing from Lon Charles and Chad Taylor and entertaining performances from its young cast and its celebrity cameo." - Charles Triano, Los Angeles Times
"The tone of the film doesn't always work as the filmmakers try to make a comedy about a dangerous sociopath. The shift between levity, black humor and drama is a tricky balancing act. Sometimes it hits with a big laugh, but other times moments land with a thud." - Michael Van Patten, Slant Magazine
"Noah Centineo has gotten a lot of flack recently as an actor, but this film appears to play to his strengths as a performer and he has great chemistry with his co-stars Jack Kilmer and Tony Revolori. The rest of the cast also nail their roles." - Stephen Ridley, Boston Globe
Rated R for strong language, violence and some sexual content
