Reception
Gregory Go Boom received mostly positive reviews from critics. Liana Maeby of HitFix praised Cera and the film by saying that Gregory is a good little short that's worth watching simply to see Michael Cera play a character that looks like "Napoleon Dynamite crossed with Yertle the Turtle."[9] Derek Deskins of Lonely Reviewer, praised the film by saying that Gregory Go Boom is an interestingly dark and ominous short that will make you view Michael Cera completely differently."[10]
