- 50VarietyEddie CockrellVarietyEddie CockrellConsistently silly and intermittently laugh-out-loud funny spoof.
- 40New Times (L.A.)Andy KleinNew Times (L.A.)Andy KleinOn the up side, there are some genuinely funny jokes, and Oedekerk has been wise enough to keep the running time down to 82 minutes, including the eight-minute closing credit sequence (which is worth staying through its entirety).
