You can expect to fall about, snort and hoot, at times hard enough to hurt inner body parts that only doctors can identify.Read the full review

Variety | Lisa NesselsonAdd Critic to Favorites

Uproarious romp, grounded in believable if gleefully implausible human behavior, is a model of comic timing.Read the full review

The Hollywood Reporter | Kirk HoneycuttAdd Critic to Favorites

Farrelly brothers films are looking better and better, but aren't nearly as funny as their grungy early films that hit with the stealth and vigor of guerrilla commandos. Maybe there is a kind of heartbreak here after all.Read the full review

Chicago Sun-Times | Roger EbertAdd Critic to Favorites

ReelViews | James BerardinelliAdd Critic to Favorites

The occasional laughs provided aren't frequent enough or uproarious enough to warrant an investment of nearly two hours of a viewer's time.Read the full review
