Reviews

Los Angeles Times - Kevin Thomas
An outrageous and imaginative summer comedy.

The New York Times - Stephen Holden
Transcendently dumb but very funny comedy.
70
Washington Post - Michael O'Sullivan
Genial rather than an affront to good taste. It's also pretty darn funny.
63
USA Today - Susan Wloszczyna
Schneider, with his cherub curls and scrawny physique, adopts a pussycat persona that engenders goodwill.
60
Salon - Stephanie Zacharek
If The Animal -- co-written by Schneider and Tom Brady -- never quite gets fired up, at least it chugs along efficiently on its mildly inspired ridiculousness.
