John Leguizamo steals the show as its sleazy trainer -- not that there's much to steal from John Schultz's joylessly schematic paycheck.
Carina Chocano, Los Angeles Times

The comedy wannabe has the lamest, most predictable banter of any recent movie.
Philip Wuntch, Dallas Morning News

The real problem is that the Kramdens' precarious financial situation, which gave the original its poignant frisson, is sidestepped.
Mark Holcomb, Village Voice

I like the cast. They're very talented, they're really funny, they have a dreadful script to work with.
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper

There's plenty of space up there for a colony of mediocre filmmakers. That's right, folks. To the moon. Bang! Zoom!
