AllMusic's David Jeffries praised Chris Brown's harmonies on the chorus and the song's production.[7]DJBooth.net wrote a mixed review: "Make a Movie, a quasi-R rated jam that brings on recovering superstar Chris Brown for a Kardashian inspired ode to cinematic intercourse."[8] William E. Ketchum III of HipHopDX wrote a positive review: "'Make A Movie' wins with its sex references, a solid Chris Brown chorus, and a silky instrumental."[9]RapReviews was also positive about the song: "there are songs like 'Make a Movie' featuring Chris Brown which harken back to the freak flop flow of 'Slow Jamz', with the perfectly contradictory combination of fast slung lyrics to slow quiet storm grooves."[10]
