A grating and witless would-be spoof of religion, male-bonding and, it seems, horror movies.

Gary Goldstein, Los Angeles Times

William and Robbie's adventure has a shaggy-dog charm that's hard to resist.

Scott Tobias, NPR

Even after the movie takes its turn for the surreal, it remains rooted in the reactions of slack-faced good guy Little and the gruff-but-loveable Longstreet.

Noel Murray, AV Club
Rotten

Such detours into psychotronic oddity for its own sake can make even a 75-minute running time feel like an eternity.

David Fear, Time Out New York

Weird and well-acted...
