Potato Salad: Don't Ask! has garnered a notably low rating on IMDb, with a score of 1.3/10, indicating that it has not been well-received by audiences. Critics have been harsh in their assessments, often noting the film's lack of coherent plot and poor production values. The Rotten Tomatoes consensus echoes this sentiment, stating, 'Potato Salad: Don't Ask! is a comedic endeavor that ultimately fails to deliver genuine humor and wit.' Reviewers from various platforms highlight the film's 'awkward execution', describing it as, 'a mismatched collection of gags that fall flat more often than not.' Nonetheless, a few voices in the crowd appreciate its absurdity and unique premise, labeling it as a 'cult classic in the making' due to its sheer irreverence. While Metacritic users have scored it low, some viewers argue that it’s the perfect movie for a laugh at how bad it is, saying, 'It’s so terrible, it can actually be enjoyable with the right crowd.' Despite the overwhelming criticism, Potato Salad: Don't Ask! has attracted a niche audience that revels in its unconventional take on high school antics, making it a notable entry in the canon of bizarre cinema.
