Critic Reviews

  • Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

    I was absolutely stunned by the vast stupidity of this film.

  • Janet Maslin, New York Times

    The result is utter confusion.

  • Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader

    Lewis has described this as his worst movie, but it also may be his most revealing one.

  • , TV Guide's Movie Guide

    Hardly Working hardly works.

  • Scott Weinberg, eFilmCritic.com

    Wow. Almost criminally bad.
