Artie Lange, Howard Stern's radio sidekick, somehow manages to make beer-league softball seem no fun at all in this extremely lowbrow comedy.
Neil Genzlinger, New York Times
Rotten
Sitting through this film is like spending the night in that sleazy bar you swore you'd never go in, not even to use the bathroom.
David Hiltbrand, Philadelphia Inquirer

Does the movie hit a home run? Hardly. But it's at least a single.
Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger
Rotten
The sort of lowbrow sports comedy best enjoyed on a 50-inch screen with a six-pack, a bucket of wings and a fast-forward button.
Lou Lumenick, New York Post
