Angie Han FilmWeek (LAist) 05/01/2021
It's a nice, cute watch. 90 breezy minutes. Go to Full Review John Anderson Wall Street Journal 04/30/2021
Golden Arm could be interpreted as having a profound feminist message and liberating agenda. Mostly, it's just goofy fun. An antic romp. A briskly paced gag fest. A lot of wrist, no relaxation. Go to Full Review Greg Carlson Vague Visages 07/28/2023
Holland and Sodaro are so effortlessly good together, their characters evoking the kind of visual contrast unforgettably rendered by Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy. Go to Full Review Grant Watson Fiction Machine 09/05/2022
7/10
It does exactly what it aims to do: it entertains. It does so lightly, and with tremendous charm. Go to Full Review Steven Warner In Review Online 06/06/2021
Golden Arm is both over the top and not Over the Top, a surprising delight that firmly stands on its own even as it takes inspiration from an all-timer. Go to Full Review Carla Hay Culture Mix 05/08/2021
A movie as formulaic as the comedy Golden Arm can be enjoyable if the cast members make the film more interesting. Thanks largely to a charming performance by lead actress Mary Holland, Golden Arm is a breezy and occasionally raunchy story. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Steve C 09/30/2023 Straight forward movie plot. I guess when you seen over 1500 movies during your life, nothing is new anymore. There is nothing new under the sun. See more paul b @OddBurton 06/06/2022 This movie isn't hilarious, but it is amusing. It's not terribly clever, nor is it particularly well written, and you already know how it's going to end. At best, it's stupid fun, which is still fun when you need to give your brain a 90-minute rest. See more bonnie w 12/11/2021 Loved this movie. It was so entertaining and laugh out loud funny. So this is what a film looks like with a lot of talented actor/comedians. Well done and a fun time for all. See more dave d 09/06/2021 Mary Holland and Betsy Sodaro play a pair of best friends and their chemistry carries a fairly pedestrian film. I'm not gonna lie, I love movies with little easter eggs in the closing credits! Every once in a while the viewer needs to be kept honest! I had a good time in a familiar and formulaic feature. It feels like an arm wrestling version of the Netflix series GLOW. It's a well-told story, but there are plenty of flaws. Namely, the forced love interests and the cliches. Worth watching. Final Score: 6.7/10 See more 06/25/2021 Although the story and cinematography leave much to be desired, it’s a fun comedy that stays afloat due to the charms of Holland and Sodaro’s impeccable comedic timing.
