Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
There's energy and glee in the movie, as if the Wayans brothers were still little boys, desperately working to out-gross each other. Naughty little boys and girls everywhere, even those who have officially grown up, will appreciate their commitment.
Would it be asking too much if the hit-and-miss jokes could maybe nudge an inch beyond the obvious?
Labored, Naked Gun-ish quotes from The Matrix, The Blair Witch Project, and The Usual Suspects merely congratulate us for recognizing them.
Everyone plays his or her part with just enough unself-conscious seriousness for the jokes to work.
