Chicago Sun-Times -
Some of the gags don't work, and yet I laughed at the Farrellys' audacity in trying them. And the humor isn't just gags and punch lines, but one accomplished comic performance after another.

USA Today -
Potty humor to spare. [26 July 1996, p. D4]

Austin Chronicle -
Kingpin is no classic, but I've got to admit that after sitting though a number of the film's less-than-inspiring previews over the last few weeks, I wasn't exactly expecting the second coming of Laurel and Hardy.

Empire -
As a barrel of easy, unsophisticated laughs, Kingpin delivers in spades.

San Francisco Chronicle -
Kingpin has nastiness going for it. There are prosthesis jokes, bad-teeth jokes, ugly-women jokes, sight gags involving vomiting, etc.
