| ReelViews James Berardinelli A waste of time and a disappointment, but it's also relatively painless. Some of the jokes work, there are some laughs to be had and, if it all falls apart in the final third, it's over soon enough that such a major structural fault is easily overlooked. | 10 | |
| ScreenIt C. Fuchs Annoying rather than funny, but also wasting a great deal of talent. | 4 | |
