- 100ColliderTherese LacsonColliderTherese LacsonAn immensely enjoyable treat, The Pez Outlaw is cleverly filmed with the highlight being Glew playing himself and seemingly having the time of his life. With references to Citizen Kane and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, the whimsy is part of the effortless charm of the doc, and Steve and Kathy bring the heart.
- 100Film ThreatBobby LePireFilm ThreatBobby LePireThe Pez Outlaw has something for everyone. It’s a crime thriller, rom-com, family drama, corporate espionage flick. It is also a sincere and loving look into the Pez collecting community, which is full of the sweetest people imaginable. This is the kind of film you’d show to someone who doesn’t like documentaries to change their mind. It is that good and powerful.
- 70The New York TimesCalum MarshThe New York TimesCalum MarshLike Pez, the film is charming and colorful — and perhaps too sweet.
- 70SlashfilmChris EvangelistaSlashfilmChris EvangelistaThe Pez Outlaw ends up being so quick, breezy, and fun, that it ultimately does its job and, unlike the chalky sweet Pez candy, never leaves a bad taste in our mouths.
- 70The Hollywood ReporterDaniel FienbergThe Hollywood ReporterDaniel FienbergIt’s a hoot with a bit of heart, and if you can accept that the main character’s actions ultimately hurt nobody — with the possible exception of a few Pez executives — its fizzy pleasures and compact running time are easy to enjoy.
