Leave your thoughts about Corky Romano.
| Apollo GuideBrian WebsterThe jokes fall flat as often as not, and they're not helped a whole lot by mediocre special effects and sloppy direction. |
| Los Angeles TimesMiles BellerThe movie is a lowbrow showcase for an equally lowbrow comedian, and how much of it you can endure depends entirely on how you feel about Kattan. |
| Hollywood Report CardRoss Anthony...hops into his yellow Miata and drives a vibrating jolt of solid laughter though audiences for a full hour. Silly Slapstick Fun. |
| New York PostJonathan ForemanThis is a lazy, careless film that feels strangely unfinished. |
| Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanIt might be courting hyperbole to call Corky Romano the single worst movie ever to feature an ''SNL'' cast member (Dan Aykroyd hit some pretty arid valleys), but I'm willing to go out on a critical limb and rank it among the all-time bottom dozen. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekIt's coarse, clumsy and interminable, the lameness of its script matched only by the ineptitude of its execution. |
| Boston GlobeJay CarrAs Corky, Mr. Kattan never finds an appealing perspective on his character. Sweetness is not this gifted comedian's strong suit, and in its place Mr. Kattan offers a desperate eagerness to please, a far less charming quality. |
| Movie MomNell Minow...the same lame jokes over and over again. And then over and over again again. |
| USA TodayMike ClarkThe movie is so silly I found myself snickering a couple of times, just before slumping down in my seat in mortified embarrassment. |
| Arkansas Democrat-GazettePhilip Martin...as Townes Van Zandt sang, "Living's mostly wastin' time" anyway. |
