New York Post - Lou Lumenick
Combines big laughs, a big heart and thoroughly winning characters to become the first big surprise of the fall season.

Washington Post - Stephen Hunter
It's funny as hell, and I am proud to say that as a card-carrying white guy, I got three, or possibly even four, of the 239 jokes.

Los Angeles Times - Kevin Thomas
As warm as it is wise, deftly setting off uproarious humor with an underlying seriousness that sneaks up on the viewer, providing an experience that is richer than anticipated.

New York Daily News - Jami Bernard
Best of all, and worth the price of admission, is Cedric the Entertainer.

Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert
There is a kind of music to their conversations, now a lullaby, now a march, now a requiem, now hip-hop, and they play with one another like members of an orchestra. The movie's so good to listen to, it would even work as an audio book.
