Los Angeles Times | Roger MooreAdd Critic to Favorites

It's as aimless and pointless as a joke told while stoned. There are some pretty decent shock-laughs, often provided by Jones, who hasn't ever been this nasty.Read the full review

The New York Times | Dana StevensAdd Critic to Favorites

It cheerfully invites the audience to descend to their level, where no joke is too silly or raunchy, and a plot is just a way of passing time between game levels and bong hits.Read the full review

The Hollywood Reporter | Frank ScheckAdd Critic to Favorites

The film doesn't have much in the way of genuine laughs despite a plethora of attempted gags, but it does have a geniality that makes it hard to entirely dislike.Read the full review

ReelViews | James BerardinelliAdd Critic to Favorites
