| Sober Film Critic James Brown | 98 | - Blending some of the best elements of Martin Scorsese's The Wolf of Wall Street and J. C. Chandor's Margin Call, the finance-themed comedy drama from Anchorman director Adam McKay serves up both irreverent humor and gut-wrenching drama in perfect doses. (full review) |

| Rob from GuysFilmQuest | 92 | - Entertaining and educational. Great cast, great performances. Should be required viewing. (full review) |
| Bryan Lienesch | 88 | - Adam McKay's first 'serious' film is a palpable entry. |

| Le Anne of Tinsel And Tine | 65.6 | - The movie doesn't talk down to the audience. At times they use easily understood analogy devices involving celebrities to explain the finer points of the game - like cutting to The Wolf of Wall Street's Margo Robbie in a bathtub, drinking champagne to explain sub-prime loans. But basically you either catch up and get the gist or you don't, and I like that. (full review) |
| Lisa Marie Bowman | 25 | - Destined to be remembered as one of the worst films ever nominated for best picture. (full review) |
