“The Flash is, by far, the best movie to come out of this modern, post-Nolan Warners/DC collaboration...” - Rolling Stone
“I am about to recommend a mildly raunchy R-rated comedy for one simple reason: I had fun watching it. I am so sick and tired of overlong, overproduced, formulaic ‘content’ that this insignificant movie looks like a work of genius in comparison.”
- Leonard Maltin
