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.

Critic Reviews

  • Joe Leydon, Variety

    Ever hear the one about the pic that was too bad to be released, so it escaped? Well, that old joke now has a new punch line: It's Pat, a shockingly unfunny Saturday Night Live spinoff.

    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.

  • , TV Guide's Movie Guide

    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!
