| San Diego Union-TribuneJerry McCormickVery few movies can make you laugh, cringe and feel dirty, all at the same time. |
| Film Quips OnlineJohn R. McEwenWith its quirky characters, silly sight gags, and the tasteless humor that has become a staple among teen comedies of late, this film will not fail to amuse its market. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekA grubby Forrest Gump minus the computer-generated presidents and the charm. |
| Charlotte ObserverLawrence ToppmanSpade, who almost invariably plays smug or smarmy characters, proves he really can act. |
| ComingSoon.netScott ChitwoodThis movie is simply dumb and not funny enough to be worth paying money to see. |
| New York PostLou LumenickA full-throated shout-out to the lowest common denominator. |
