IMDb rated the film at 5.7/10, suggesting that it struggled to resonate with viewers on an emotional level. Metacritic's score of 60/100 echoes the sentiment of a promising premise that fell short in execution. Overall, 'Rules Don't Apply' showcases glimpses of brilliance but ultimately falls flat in delivering a compelling storyline.
