Reviews

Rolling Stone - Peter Travers
Both sides of the political fence will feel royally skewered. All that's lacking is a warning from the Surgeon General: This film will make you laugh till it hurts.
83
The A.V. Club - Scott Tobias
Much like his father Ivan (Ghostbusters), first-time director Jason Reitman has a broad, anything-goes comedic sensibility that allows silly gags and incidental humor to sneak in alongside the satirical barbs.
83
Entertainment Weekly - Lisa Schwarzbaum
Cynical and cheerily merciless.
75
Christian Science Monitor - Peter Rainer
Snarky and enjoyable, but it could have been a ferocious black comedy. No Thank You For Playing It Safe.
70
The Hollywood Reporter - Kirk Honeycutt
The movie is amusing and clever but only skin deep. It lacks the acidity and rage of a satire such as "Network."
