Rotten
A joyless road-trip comedy that's about as pleasant as a bad case of car sickness.
Scott Foundas, Variety
Rotten
The gags seem pretty lame even by the standards assiduously applied by most 8-year-olds.
Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com
Rotten
These kids are going after perfectly innocent nice adults. They are some of the nastiest children in movie history.
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper
Rotten
Lacks the courage of its grape-juice-, mud-, and vomit-spattered convictions.
