Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words

Tomatometer
Rotten
The flashy adaptation of the book by aging Belgian provocateur Herman Brusselmans is as systematically offensive and boisterously vulgar as its degenerate punk protagonists. Or at least that's the aim.
Nicolas Rapold, Village Voice
Rotten
A thoroughly offensive and often hilarious punk requiem about rape, murder, violence, kinky sex, drugs, destruction, bad manners and rock 'n' roll -- not necessarily in that order.
Ted Fry, Seattle Times
Rotten
Signaling a new low in post-modern smug superiority, Ex Drummer tries to pass off contempt as comedy and slanted lensing as creativity.
Jay Weissberg, Variety
