| Arizona Daily StarPhil VillarrealRyan Reynolds is one of the funniest men alive. |
| The Stranger (Seattle, WA)Andrew WrightAs far as the strangely hostile cheerfulness of chain eateries goes, Office Space did more with a single throwaway joke than McKittrick musters in three acts. |
| Cinema CrazedFelix Vasquez Jr.It made me laugh. Out loud, a lot, and wildly, and I'm not ashamed to admit it. |
| Seattle TimesTom KeoghMcKittrick's relentless vulgarity is wearing, but he's a strong visualist who keeps his shoestring-budget film looking fresh. |
