Movieline
It goes down like a canned but genial '80s comedy: Without fanfare or much nutrition; part of your balanced breakfast.

Variety
Kind of a drag when it resorts to frantic slapstick and tired action-comedy tropes, but modestly engaging during stretches that suggest the project would have worked better as an exuberant musical.
40
Won't likely disappoint fans of men-in-drag comedy but doesn't offer much that's original or funny.
40
Village Voice
John Whitesell's extraordinarily witless movie operates as a checklist for cultural and racial clichés.
33
Lawrence's gender-bending jokes are played out, and his slapstick is wooden and slow.
