Rotten
Unlike the pathetic protagonists of many a smart dumb comedy, Corky never becomes sympathetic, and without this fundamental irony the movie doesn't have a leg to stand on.

Ever hear about the guy who liked to pummel his head with a sledgehammer, because it felt so good when he stopped? Maybe the same fellow would appreciate Corky Romano.
Joe Leydon, Variety
Rotten
It's depressing enough to sit through an unfunny comedy, but it's worse to watch Falk, Penn and Berg having to earn a living like this.
Desson Thomson, Washington Post
Rotten
Much too tired and mean-spirited to be funny.
Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times
Rotten
It's strictly for someone looking for a goof-off.
