- 45TheWrapAlonso DuraldeTheWrapAlonso DuraldeUnfinished Business isn’t a laugh-free experience — Nick Frost steals every scene as a business underling with a kinky side — and some of the comic set pieces actually work.

- 40Time Out LondonDave CalhounTime Out LondonDave CalhounThis limp, sometimes lifeless business-trip comedy can’t decide whether to aim for teenage boys or their fathers. So it plumps for – and misses – both.
- 40Screen DailyJohn HazeltonScreen DailyJohn HazeltonThe supporting cast takes some of the comic weight off the always likeable Vaughn’s shoulders. But Wilkinson’s character is too sad-sack to be really funny and Franco’s verges on the mawkish.
- 40Arizona RepublicBill GoodykoontzArizona RepublicBill GoodykoontzUnfinished Business is a jumble of half-baked ideas, none particularly interesting.
- 38Movie NationRoger MooreMovie NationRoger MooreUnfinished Business, the second film Vaughn has done with the deliberately paced Canadian Ken Scott (“Delivery Man”) groans under the weight of expected laughs, expectations that are rarely met.
- Unfinished Business is the cinematic equivalent of sub-par fast food (think Carl’s Jr. or Jack in the Box); it’s cheap, easy and maybe even tasty for a second or two, but leaves you feeling queasy and undernourished.
- 30VarietyJustin ChangVarietyJustin ChangA comedy with its heart in the right place and everything else bizarrely out of joint.

- 20The TelegraphRobbie CollinThe TelegraphRobbie CollinMawkishness, gay panic, and lazy jokes make Vince Vaughn's workplace comedy considerably less fun than work itself.
