| Film.comJohn HartlHas a cute idea. Which it promptly runs into the ground. |
| New York Daily NewsJack MathewsA one-joke idea...wears itself out almost instantly. |

| User ReviewCassandra MReally funny movie if you get it it was on foxtell years ago |
| User ReviewMax Done of the funniest movies you will ever see |
| User ReviewPrivate UAbsolutly outstanding. David hyde pierce does an outstanding voice over. Every scene is entertaining and believible. And you get to see Carmen Electra's breasts, can't complain about that. Something for all sexes to enjoy |
