Uninspired, sure, but sporadically, spasmodically funny.

As Mr. Woodcock demonstrates, a great premise can generate a lot of goodwill and almost overcome an uneven script. So too can expert performances.

Chicago Tribune
Let's say you find yourself at the multiplex, and the first 20 minutes of Mr. Woodcock happen to correspond with the 20 minutes you need to waste before your movie of choice begins. Those are the ideal 20 minutes to spend with this marginally promising--but ultimately unfunny--comedy.

Mild pleasures are available in Mr. Woodcock.

Certainly, it's mediocre, but no more so than half the comedies that are wildly promoted by their studios these days.
