| BrianOrndorf.comBrian OrndorfHughes appears to love these characters, but he's serving a platter of rancid gags, losing interest as the story lurches from one roadside encounter to the next. |
| Deseret News (Salt Lake City)Chris HicksI's not hard to understand how Hughes turns out so many screenplays. He probably just leaves the old ones in his computer so they're easier to rewrite. |
| Washington PostDesson ThomsonHughes, a man more prolific than Stephen King and less inspired than Aaron Spelling, has produced yet another forgettable project. This movie shouldn't even be allowed on planes. |
| eFilmCritic.comScott WeinbergWarmed-up John Huges pap. Not even the hard-working Ed O'Neill can save the day. |
| Common Sense MediaHeather BoernerCoarse tale of family and Thanksgiving for teens. |
| Cinema CrazedFelix Vasquez Jr.It's not Hughes' worst comedy effort by far, but it surely is by no means his best... |
