Leave your thoughts about The Slammin' Salmon.
| eFilmCritic.comErik ChildressI couldn't list ten pure comedies from 2008 that produced as many laughs as The Slammin' Salmon and the way this year has started, it's hard to think that wouldn't hold true for 2009 either. |
| CinemaBlend.comJoshua TylerEasily the best work Broken Lizard has ever done. |
| Washington TimesSonny BunchAlthough it's a little slow at the outset and occasionally a trifle predictable, The Slammin' Salmon is still a rollickin' time at the theater. |
| ComingSoon.netEdward DouglasMichael Clarke Duncan steals every single scene ... a very different role for the actor played so over-the-top that you can't help but be impressed and amazed. |
| DVDTalk.comBrian OrndorfI laughed throughout The Slammin' Salmon, groaned a bit here and there too, but smiles and Broken Lizard? I'd never thought I'd see the day when the two would meet. |
| Village VoiceMelissa AndersonLikably stoopid, the latest from comedy troupe Broken Lizard (Super Troopers, Beerfest) mines plenty of jokes from eating out and being served. |
| Bullz-Eye.comJason ZingaleIt's pretty obvious from the start that The Slammin' Salmon isn't going to be the comedy troupe's funniest movie, but there are still plenty of laughs to be had. |
| Seattle TimesJeff ShannonIf you're in the mood for buffoonery, you'll probably enjoy this dumb-but-funny marathon of back-stabbing, physical gags, potty humor and appealing cast chemistry. |
| Washington PostMichael O'SullivanMuch of the film's humor hovers around crotch level. If jokes about mental illness, terminal disease and sex with orangutans sound funny to you, go for it. |
| Hollywood ReporterEthan AlterThe movie offers enough solid laughs to ensure a decent audience on DVD and cable. That audience could have been even larger, however, were the proceedings just a little smarter and a whole lot funnier. |
