A fine farce about discovering the meaning of 'family' under peculiar circumstances.

Tom Keogh, Seattle Times

Zany Zucker proves that 'German comedy' is no oxymoron, and that the country can at last find humor in its cultural and religious divide.

Cynthia Dickison, Minneapolis Star Tribune
Fresh

A character-driven entertainment that stays just the right side of purely physical farce.

Derek Elley, Variety
Rotten

A diverting, mildly entertaining movie, far short of provoking the controversy (or hysterical laughter) it apparently prompted during its release in Germany.

Jessica Reaves, Chicago Tribune

Go for Zucker! has one comic trope our capitalist society can definitely understand: the restorative power of a cash bonanza.

Robert Abele, Los Angeles Times
