Variety -
Knucklehead has a professional slickness about it, flawless shooting by d.p. Kenneth Zunder, and Johnston's perfectly cloying score. The acting leaves a bit to be desired: Malick is hilarious; Wight is endearing; Rebecca Creskoff ("Hung"), who plays Mary's friend and fellow ex-"dancer," is refreshingly natural.

The New York Times -
A number of talented performers are stymied by this mediocre material.

Orlando Sentinel -
Director Michael W. Watkins, whose decades of TV credits go back to "Quantum Leap," manages one clever visual gag - a bus wreck, observed from the far side of a cornfield. We hear a crunch, see a telephone pole wobble and a little puff of smoke. Then Watkins blows the moment with a fiery overkill.

The Hollywood Reporter -
This lame comedy about a big doofus who enters the fight game manages to take every cliche in the book and render them even more cliched.

New York Post -
A 2010 movie that could have been made in 1940.
