A movie that offends every moral sensibility but delivers few comedic rewards.
Josh Tapper, Toronto Star

Does it even qualify as a movie? Why did it take two people to write and cost $2.5 million to make?
Sherilyn Connelly, Village Voice

You might chuckle at Wayans huddled in the tub, frantically trying to scrub himself clean of something slightly more earthly-freaky than evil spirits. But watching him get it on with stuffed animals? Ick.
Tom Russo, Boston Globe
Rotten
There are vague hints that the story is "really" about the difficulties and anxiety of commitment, but then one of many variations on a fart joke distracts from any actual idea.
Mark Olsen, Los Angeles Times
