Critically, "Madness in the Method" received mixed to negative reviews overall. On IMDb, the film holds an average rating of 5.5 out of 10, reflecting a polarized audience reaction. Critics have praised Jason Mewes’s self-aware and comedic performance, noting his willingness to poke fun at himself, which brings a certain charm to the movie. However, many reviews pointed out the film’s uneven pacing and underdeveloped plot as major drawbacks. Rotten Tomatoes reports a low score of 30%, indicating generally unfavorable reviews from critics. Some reviewers found the humor inconsistent and felt the film struggled to fully capitalize on its meta premise. Metacritic data is limited but echoes similar sentiments, highlighting a lack of narrative depth despite the intriguing concept. While fans of Mewes and Kevin Smith’s View Askewniverse may find some entertaining moments, general audiences and critics alike noted that "Madness in the Method" falls short of its potential as a sharp Hollywood satire.
