| Reeling ReviewsLaura CliffordDespite a few chuckles, this loud, obvious and raunchy comedy suffers from a worse fate than its cheesiness - it's utterly forgettable. |
| St. Paul Pioneer PressChris HewittPiven's aggressive energy doesn't wear well over the course of the movie, but the supporting cast is stocked with choice comedy talent. |
| At the MoviesBen LyonsI definitely laughed, just not enough to fully recommend it. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertA cheerfully energetically and very vulgar comedy. |
| Kansas City StarRobert W. ButlerNothing wrong with potty talk. But if that's all a movie has to offer, the humor quickly evaporates. |

| Film SnobsJimmy ONeeds Less Sentiment and More Charles Napier. But Still Rapid-Fire Funny in Nature. |
