Chicago Tribune
It's a lot of fun. Its spirit is genuine and, even with the odd vomit gag, fundamentally sweet.

Overcomes its essential familiarity thanks to a frequently witty script, grounded direction (by Peter Cattaneo, of "Full Monty" fame) and an engaging turn by its star that proves him more than capable of carrying a comedy feature.

Variety
Wilson makes the most of it in this well-crafted, feel-good satire.

The Rocker can be amusingly dopey, with its "Spinal Tap"-ish lampooning of rock idioms - and idiots.

Empire
Lightweight but likable.
