Recommandations

Village Voice
Likably stoopid, the latest from comedy troupe Broken Lizard (Super Troopers, Beerfest) mines plenty of jokes from eating out and being served. - 50
The Hollywood Reporter
The movie offers enough solid laughs to ensure a decent audience on DVD and cable. That audience could have been even larger, however, were the proceedings just a little smarter and a whole lot funnier. - 50
Variety
It is the presence of Duncan as a Mike Tyson-esque, malaprop-spouting ex-champion that, at least momentarily, lifts the pic out of its mediocrity. - 50
The New York Times
Has its share of funny moments. But it also has its share of tired ones, like the subplot involving the inadvertent swallowing of a ring. - 50
New York Post
Funny more often than not. Worth checking out on video. - 50
Washington Post
Much of the film's humor hovers around crotch level. If jokes about mental illness, terminal disease and sex with orangutans sound funny to you, go for it. - 40
Time Out
The film is set in a celeb-owned Miami restaurant and many of the gags--exploding entrees, the swallowing of a diamond ring, on-the-job drunkenness--feel like leftovers. - 38
Boston Globe
When is a comedy not a comedy? When it’s not all that funny.
