Reviews


80
Dallas Observer - Luke Y. Thompson
Chris Rock gets to direct himself, and as a result is finally starring in a laugh-out-loud funny movie.
75
Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert
An imperfect movie, but not a boring one and not lacking in intelligence.
70
Chicago Reader - J.R. Jones
The gags come fast and furious, and though some are a little stale, Rock and cowriter Ali LeRoi strive for wit over crudity.
63
ReelViews - James Berardinelli
The key term here is "fairy tale," because, although the movie occasionally tries for dramatic moments, they're overplayed, undercooked, and divorced from reality.
50
Film Threat - Unnamed
After all is said and done, it seems like the jokes during the end credits are the tow truck of the movie, the engine quitting after the halfway point.
