Washington Post | Desson ThomsonAdd Critic to Favorites

In keeping with the Smith rules, the movie is irreverent, self-referential, twisted, cheap and tasteless. And, of course, I mean that as the highest compliment.Read the full review

Rolling Stone | Peter TraversAdd Critic to Favorites

A blast of comic irreverence that serves as a starring vehicle for two stoner characters who had previously been relegated to the sidelines.Read the full review

Slate | David EdelsteinAdd Critic to Favorites

Most of all, I enjoyed the picture's subtext, which is that Smith has become so sensitized to Internet abuse -- that the cathartic climax consists of tracking down bellicose posters (all of whom turn out to be adolescent dweebs) and pummeling the crap out of them.Read the full review

It's gratifying to see a comedy can have no redeeming social value yet be full of hearty laughs.Read the full review

Entertainment Weekly | Owen GleibermanAdd Critic to Favorites

A hit-or-miss affair that starts out wobbly and then gathers comic momentum.Read the full review

Washington Post | Rita KempleyAdd Critic to Favorites

A raunchy parody that's hip-deep in the mainstream it aims to rip, and sometimes does despite a glut of smug inside jokes.Read the full review

The New York Times | A.O. ScottAdd Critic to Favorites

This may be the greatest picture ever made for 14-year-old boys. Mr. Smith may have hit his target, but he aimed very low.Read the full review
