USA Today
Interspersed between the misogyny and flatulence jokes apparently left over from Pooh's co-written script for "Friday," there's a story about an ex-con. - 33
Entertainment Weekly
Empty jokes hang heavy. - 25
New York Post
A criminally slow, all-but-laughless blaxploitation comedy. - 25
San Francisco Chronicle
This is a sloppy hash of a movie, poorly directed and plotted in a way that looks as if it were improvised on the spot. - 20
The New York Times
Feels like a very long late-night comedy sketch that occasionally veers beyond tastelessness toward something worse. - 20
Film.com
Could have afforded to be a little loftier and still be quite funny. Instead, it's a waste. - 10
Chicago Reader
For every jab at hypocrisy in law enforcement or in the media's crime coverage...there's a scene's worth of uninflected scatology or misogyny. - 10
Salon
A dumb and sloppy movie.
