Seattle Post-Intelligencer -
It's a consistently funny script, tastefully packaged by super-producer Brian Grazer and directed with just the right touch by Dean Parisot.

Variety -
The rare Hollywood remake that, by daring to reinterpret its source material within a fresh political context, actually has a reason to exist.

Chicago Sun-Times -
Recycles the 1977 comedy right down to repeating the same mistakes.

The New York Times -
Mr. Carrey is such an attention hog that most actresses have a hard time holding on to their corner of the screen when he's onboard, especially in broader comedies. But Ms. Leoni never cedes her ground. Both performers exude such acute neediness - there's a touch of Jerry Lewis and Lucille Ball in their mutual frenzy - that not to love them even a little would seem cruel.

Los Angeles Times -
Plays like the setup for a movie that never materializes. It has all the elements for a successful comedy, but once the premise is presented, the film doesn't know how to deliver on its promise. That doesn't mean there is no fun in "Fun."
