| EricDSnider.comEric D. SniderMean-spirited, unpleasant comedy about characters who are both nasty and stupid and who deserve every bad thing that happens to them. In fact, they deserve more. |
| ColeSmithey.comCole SmitheyThis slapdash comedy barely coughs up more than a couple of funny scenes as the story moves in predictable fits and starts before sputtering out of fuel half way through. |
| San Antonio Express-NewsLarry Ratliff(Anthony) Anderson is funny, usually. Just not here. |
| FilmJerk.comBrian OrndorfWatching Anderson try to be funny is like getting a tooth pulled, or sitting through a Tim Burton DVD audio commentary. |
| Groucho ReviewsPeter CanavesePopulated solely with hateful characters...strictly for connoisseurs of crass. |
| TheFilmFile.comDustin PutmanUnobtrusive and virtually painless as an occasionally witty laugher, but lacks the courage of its convictions to follow through with its less commercial ambitions. |
| Movie MomNell MinowI looked at the ceiling, not casting my eyes heavenward for assistance but trying to find something more interesting to look at than what was on the screen. The ceiling won. |
| Movie EyeFrank OchiengByrd haphazardly assembles a bunch of overly exaggerated caricatures and parades them around in a dissolving farce that has all the wayward charm of a botched lobotomy |

| AV ClubNathan RabinDevotes its first two acts to establishing the comic monstrousness of all its characters. |
