Has the lazy, bric-a-brac atmosphere of one of those blown-off movies made during down time on some bigger affair.

Scott Foundas, Variety

The perfect curtain call for these much-loved, wise but oh so stupid slackers.

Geoff Andrew, Time Out
Rotten

I admit to enjoying -- in a drunken, half-asleep kind of way -- parts of this ramshackle road movie with its running Miramax guest stars and its endless homo jokes.

David Edelstein, Slate

Smith, coming off the madly audacious Dogma, knows that he's slumming this time and revels in it.

Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly
Rotten

The picture lacks the mix of innocence and savagery that branded [Smith's] other films.

Rita Kempley, Washington Post
