Three aspiring Hollywood friends plot to steal Quentin Tarantino's personal 35mm print of Pulp Fiction from his movie theater. The friends team up with their therapist to carry out the heist.
Giant Pictures acquired the distribution rights to the film in 2024. It was given a video on demand and limited theatrical release on June 27, 2025.[4][5][6][1]
In a negative review, Glenn Kenny of The New York Times wrote, "Turkiewicz apes Tarantino's great film by giving chapter titles to its sections and setting multiple scenes in a diner. These sequences don't resemble Pulp Fiction so much as they do television ads for Chili's — a locale where you'll have a better time than watching this utterly misbegotten movie."[8]
Calum Cooper of In Their Own League was particularly scathing of the film, criticising the characters, humour and lack of creativity in the film's attempts to pay homage to Tarantino. He wrote, "Stealing Pulp Fiction is one of the worst comedies of recent memory; a film that may incentivise you into following its putrid characters’ lead and stealing the digital print to spare innocents from its awfulness."[9]
Conversely, Ethan Padgett of Film Threat gave the film a score of 9 out of 10 and wrote, "Danny Turkiewicz delivers a funny and delightfully odd film. Jon Rudnitsky and Karan Soni make a great duo as Jonathan and Steve. Jason Alexander shows off his comedic chops as Dr. Mendelbaum and brings his Seinfeldian energy to the film. Joshua Allen's cinematography has a painterly quality and recalls the rich colors seen in films of the 1970s."[10]
Andrew Murray of The Upcoming was also positive, giving the film three out of five stars and writing, "Fully embracing its offbeat humour, Turkiewicz's film is more Napoleon Dynamite than Reservoir Dogs, and it works."[11]
