There may be no crying need for this movie, but we could use the laughs.Read the full review

Chicago Sun-Times | Roger EbertAdd Critic to Favorites

A surprisingly funny movie, the best of the 1970s recycling jobs, with one laugh ("Are you OK, little pony?") almost as funny as the moment in "Dumb and Dumber" when the kid figured out his parakeet's head was Scotch-taped on.Read the full review

San Francisco Chronicle | Mick LaSalleAdd Critic to Favorites

Funny throughout, but with a handful of really hilarious moments. Read the full review

A textbook example of how a remade '70s show can feel like an enjoyable lark rather than cultural recycling run amok. Read the full review

Entertainment Weekly | Owen GleibermanAdd Critic to Favorites

To turn fondly remembered TV trash into a movie that knows it's cruddy -- and that isn't, therefore, quite as cruddy as it might have been -- takes a perverse pinch of talent, if not style.Read the full review

Boston Globe | Ty BurrAdd Critic to Favorites

Stealing the movie, however, is rapper Snoop Dogg as Huggy Bear, the pimp/informant originally portrayed by Antonio Fargas on the TV show. Read the full review
