Reception
TV Guide reviewer Jordan Hoffman sees the French Budapest similar to the American The Hangover films only the party moves to Budapest. He writes: "The idea is to organize 'stag parties' for French bros who don't want to plan anything." The critic continues: "There's a little bit of realism and warmth in this dopey comedy." but "...Budapest is light fare. It goes down easy but also isn't too memorable." [2]
Another reviewer wants to warn the viewer to know "The movie revels in raunchy out-of-control behavior, with lots of partying, nudity, sex ,,,". Adult viewers may find the French comedy humorous but it may be over the head of a younger viewer.[3]
