[A] stale, schmaltzy and testosterone-drenched comedy.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Rotten
There are a lot of odious movies yet to come in 2014, no doubt, but they'll have to work to beat "Back in the Day" for awfulness.
Neil Genzlinger, New York Times
Rotten
Cloying and smug when it's not being unfunny and crass, the high school reunion comedy "Back in the Day" hits lows with a frequency that suggests a world-class sharp shooter or free-throw king.
Robert Abele, Los Angeles Times
Rotten
Good for a couple of fart jokes and otherwise utterly forgettable.
