The kind of thing that leads to sleepless nights -- from severely bruised rib cages.

Glenn Lovell, San Jose Mercury News

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.

Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail

Would it be asking too much if the hit-and-miss jokes could maybe nudge an inch beyond the obvious?

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
Rotten

Labored, Naked Gun-ish quotes from The Matrix, The Blair Witch Project, and The Usual Suspects merely congratulate us for recognizing them.

Michael Atkinson, Village Voice

Everyone plays his or her part with just enough unself-conscious seriousness for the jokes to work.

Jonathan Foreman, New York Post
