Critic Reviews

  • David Fear, Time Out New York

    Add a lot of musty, Eisenhower-era gags (most women are shrewish ballbusters! all fat people love food!) and you wonder why the producers didn't just throw in canned laughter as well.

  • Mary Elizabeth Williams, Salon.com

    Good Lord, where do I start? This is unoriginal, stupid, predicatble, annoying, tedious, and not very much fun. I admittedly laughed at least twice, but this movie is mostly an aggravating bore. What saves it from getting a worse grade is that I liked how four cast members from The… More
