- 80Village VoiceAlan ScherstuhlVillage VoiceAlan ScherstuhlA major achievement in sunny wretchedness, Álex de la Iglesia's splatter-comedy Witching & Bitching projectile pukes its outrages at you with a gusto recalling the early days of those (sadly) reformed upchuckers Sam Raimi and Peter Jackson.
- 75McClatchy-Tribune News ServiceRoger MooreMcClatchy-Tribune News ServiceRoger MooreIt’s the best Almodovar movie Almodovar never made, a riotous, gory farce that might be the funniest movie of the summer, and surely is the coolest.
- 75The A.V. ClubIgnatiy VishnevetskyThe A.V. ClubIgnatiy VishnevetskyPlenty of movies sympathize with outcasts, but only De La Iglesia’s sympathize with their ugliest feelings: envy, resentment, and self-loathing.
- 75Miami HeraldRene RodriguezMiami HeraldRene RodriguezDe la Iglesia’s knack for offending audiences while showing them a good time is stronger than ever: Witching and Bitching isn’t much on substance or logic, but man, is it fun.
- 75RogerEbert.comSimon AbramsRogerEbert.comSimon AbramsWitching and Bitching is accordingly overlong, and conceptually thin. But like most of de la Iglesia's films, it's also freakishly energetic, and often hysterical.
- 70The DissolveDavid EhrlichThe DissolveDavid EhrlichTransitioning from Reservoir Dogs to From Dusk Till Dawn with a lunatic’s grace, Witching & Bitching resolves itself as a gloriously gory civil war between men and the grotesquely literal manifestations of how the worst of them see the fairer sex.
- 70The New York TimesBen KenigsbergThe New York TimesBen KenigsbergKnown for his genre pastiches, the director, Álex de la Iglesia (“El Crimen Perfecto”), rarely lets the pace flag, and the buddy comedy, gross-out humor and horror elements make for a harmonious mix.
- 63Slant MagazineChuck BowenSlant MagazineChuck BowenÁlex de la Iglesia has a real flair for wild action sequences that remain exhilaratingly coherent and sensical.
- 60New Orleans Times-PicayuneMike ScottNew Orleans Times-PicayuneMike ScottWitching and Bitching -- though perhaps a bit overlong, and prone to meandering -- is unapologetic about what it is: a crazy, just-for-fun film that revels in its own bad taste.
