It all comes off a bit like an extended episode of "Everybody Hates Chris" with really bad language.
Kevin C. Johnson, St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Rotten
Let's call it four out of six numbers, with no power bonus. Some payoff, but don't quit your job.
Tom Long, Detroit News

...a film that's largely wealthy in incoherence, raising a smile one minute and a cringe the next, until it finally devolves into a 'who-cares' cliche-fest.
Glenn Kenny, MSN Movies
Rotten
A jumble of comedy and drama with a sprinkling of After School Special messaging and some head-scratchingly bad choices.
Stephanie Merry, Washington Post
