Critic Reviews

, Time Out
The grotesque practical jokes perpetrated against two interfering bumblers are genuinely funny, while Estevez and Sheen remain cutely goofy even when indulging themselves in this adolescent idiocy.
-
Vincent Canby, New York Times
The movie's desire to please is tireless, also engaging. Mr. Estevez's screenplay is not entirely coherent, but it has a number of comically crackpot lines.
-
Rita Kempley, Washington Post
Like the jokes, the brothers' rapport seems recycled from childhood. Sheen and Estevez are hardly working.
-
Brian Orndorf, BrianOrndorf.com
It's just not much of a motion picture, dropping the potential of a unique workplace perspective to deliver static monkey business, streaked with leftover clown make-up from Weekend at Bernie's.
-
Steve Crum, Video-Reviewmaster.com
Lame trash men comedy, early Estevez and Sheen.
