Critic Reviews

  • Leonard Klady, Variety

  • Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail

    A useless movie. Not funny, suspenseful, moving or even offensive enough to want to torpedo. Just devoid of any conceivable value.

  • Stephen Holden, New York Times

    Leaky PT-boat of a comedy.

  • Jeff Millar, Houston Chronicle

    I didn't laugh once, not even giggle.
