The movie's unintentionally played like a comedy all the way.
Trevor Johnston, Time Out
Rotten
In an otherwise boneheaded hour and a half of intrigue and silliness, The Skulls does offer one of the more memorable lines of dialogue in recent movies.
Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail
Rotten
The contrivances pile up more quickly than snowfall in a Buffalo winter, and the ending is so lame that it provoked guffaws from theater-goers attending the screening along with me.
James Berardinelli, ReelViews

The Skulls? More like numbskulls.
