A movie of implacable unfunniness.
Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal

For the comic actors, this project -- an enjoyable synthesis of improvisation and adherence to the original story -- seems almost too easy. You wonder why it took them so long.
Desson Thomson, Washington Post

Williams and Crystal often supply, through their ad libs, what the writers may have left out.
