Critic Reviews
-
Joe Neumaier, New York Daily News
Well, at least someone is trying to emulate the Farrelly brothers -- except "Knucklehead," director Michael W. Watkins' half-assed, halfhearted attempt to copy the Farrellys' out-there style is missing both their jackassical riffs and their heart.
-
Mike Hale, New York Times
World Wrestling Entertainment continues its effort to meld violent sport with gooey, throwback family comedy in the claptrap road movie Knucklehead.
-
Kyle Smith, New York Post
Knucklehead's candy corn heart and shameless predictability are almost touching in their obliviousness to anything that's happened in movies in recent decades. Cute orphans? Really?
-
Michelle Orange, Village Voice
A schmaltzy family comedy that won't pass the smell test for kids, parents, or even stoner second cousins.
-
Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel
Those multi-media moguls at World Wrestling Entertainment haven't quite got the hang of this "family friendly" turn they've taken with their motion picture division.
