Arguably the least successful of the many feature film spin-offs of Saturday Night Live television sketch characters, this comedy barely won a quick theatrical release.

  • Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times

    It's Pat offers a simple message of self-acceptance, asserting that what counts is who you are rather than what your gender may or may not be. The trouble is that its telling is truly terrible.

    The story goes nowhere, and if the film ran longer than its 80 minutes, it would have become too tedious to tolerate.

  • Steve Crum, Kansas City Kansan

    One-joke Saturday Night Live-based comedy. Yecch!
