Critical Reception

Kat Halstead of Common Sense Media awarded the film four stars out of five, and wrote, "It lags slightly in places, and at two hours is a little overlong, but this is a successful jump from page to screen that leaves a promising door open for future adaptations from the series." Sheila O'Malley of RogerEbert.com wrote, "The Thursday Murder Club is engaging and often amusing. The plot contains enough surprises that the "whodunit" generates real suspense. The characters aren't particularly well-developed, but neither are they stereotypes.
