The movie's desire to please is tireless, also engaging. Mr. Estevez's screenplay is not entirely coherent, but it has a number of comically crackpot lines.

Like the jokes, the brothers' rapport seems recycled from childhood. Sheen and Estevez are hardly working.
Rita Kempley, Washington Post

The grotesque practical jokes perpetrated against two interfering bumblers are genuinely funny, while Estevez and Sheen remain cutely goofy even when indulging themselves in this adolescent idiocy.
