Entertainment Weekly | Lisa SchwarzbaumAdd Critic to Favorites

The two XXL personalities are in fit, fighting form in a comedy as bracing and furiously right for the moment as it is broad and huggable. Read the full review

Washington Post | Desson ThomsonAdd Critic to Favorites

Miller time for the funny bone.Read the full review

Rolling Stone | Peter TraversAdd Critic to Favorites

It's good fun for a while, especially the therapy sessions that feature Luis Guzman as a gay hood with a paunch he covers in Day-Glo spandex and John Turturro as Dave's "anger buddy." John C. Reilly also scores as a bully turned Buddhist monk. Read the full review

The Onion (A.V. Club) | Scott TobiasAdd Critic to Favorites

Doesn't possess the discipline to peel laughs off its potentially riotous premise. Instead, Segal and company grope desperately for every low gag they can find, whether or not it has anything to do with the story. Read the full review
