What The Critics Said
All critic scores are converted to a 100-point scale. If a critic does not indicate a score, we assign a score based on the general impression given by the text of the review. Learn more...
Los Angeles Times Miles Beller
Truly makes you laugh. At its best it recalls the animated antics of a Jerry Lewis escapade, the pratfall follies of a Buster Keaton flick and Rowan Atkinson's outsized physicality.
Miami Herald Rene Rodriguez
The movie is a lowbrow showcase for an equally lowbrow comedian, and how much of it you can endure depends entirely on how you feel about Kattan.
Read Full Review >USA Today Mike Clark
The movie is so silly I found myself snickering a couple of times, just before slumping down in my seat in mortified embarrassment.
Read Full Review >LA Weekly Mark Olsen
What at times feels like a maniacal romp becomes just another sporadically funny, but mostly lame, piece of disposable product.
Read Full Review >TV Guide Steve Simels
This broad, coarse farce is otherwise as insubstantial a piece of work as you could possibly imagine; in fact, a light breeze could blow it away.
Read Full Review >New York Post Jonathan Foreman
This is a lazy, careless film that feels strangely unfinished.
Read Full Review >Chicago Tribune Robert K. Elder
Worth your time and money? Fuhgeddaboutit.
New York Daily News Elizabeth Weitzman
The writing, directing and acting are all so sketchy, it's a mystery that Kattan didn't just try out this material the way he should have -- in a three-minute sketch.
Read Full Review >Baltimore Sun Michael Sragow
The only way sober adults will keep awake is wondering how the lead mobsters on "The Sopranos" -- who also are amateur film critics -- will rank the movie next year on HBO.
Portland Oregonian Kim Morgan
Corky Romano is merely grating. Until he finds a better director than Rob Pritts, Kattan's best bet is to stick with "SNL" impresario Lorne Michaels.
Read Full Review >San Francisco Chronicle Bob Graham
Nobody would claim it adds up to much of a comedy. It's strictly for someone looking for a goof-off.
Read Full Review >Seattle Post-Intelligencer Sean Axmaker
It's bad enough that the lazy script substitutes goofy situations for actual gags, much of which falls flat under Rob Pritts' plodding direction, but Corky Romano finally sours in cynicism and hypocrisy.
Read Full Review >Boston Globe Jay Carr
The most dumbed-down mob comedy in years. It's the kind of movie you tie around the ankles of a stiff you're tossing into deep water and never want to see again.
The New York Times Dave Kehr
As Corky, Mr. Kattan never finds an appealing perspective on his character. Sweetness is not this gifted comedian's strong suit, and in its place Mr. Kattan offers a desperate eagerness to please, a far less charming quality.
Read Full Review >Mr. Showbiz Kevin Maynard
Frankly, there wouldn't have been enough shtick here to warrant an SNL skit. And if the material isn't even up to those standards, then who the hell green-lit it as a feature?
Chicago Sun-Times Roger Ebert
A dead zone of comedy. The concept is exhausted, the ideas are tired, the physical gags are routine, the story is labored, the actors look like they can barely contain their doubts about the project.
Read Full Review >Austin Chronicle Kimberley Jones
The only actors who walk away unscathed are Kattan -- the best thing in a very bad movie -- and former cover girl Shaw.
Read Full Review >Variety Joe Leydon
Ranks as the most slapdash comedic star vehicle to hit screens since Harland Williams misfired with the career-stalling "RocketMan."
Read Full Review >Washington Post Desson Thomson
It's depressing enough to sit through an unfunny comedy, but it's worse to watch Falk, Penn and Berg having to earn a living like this.
Read Full Review >Chicago Reader Lisa Alspector
Corky never becomes sympathetic, and without this fundamental irony the movie doesn't have a leg to stand on.
Read Full Review >Entertainment Weekly Owen Gleiberman
It might be courting hyperbole to call Corky Romano the single worst movie ever to feature an ''SNL'' cast member (Dan Aykroyd hit some pretty arid valleys), but I'm willing to go out on a critical limb and rank it among the all-time bottom dozen.

John D gave it an8:
The greatest worst movie ever! You will split your sides laughing if you lose yourself in the film and not get bogged down with the truth that it is a dumb movie. I give it an 8 for those who know how to enjoy dumb movies and a 2 for those who know movies.
s e gave it a7:
This movie was totally fun. yes, it did not win an oscar but it wasnt meant to... its camp!
Jennifer H. gave it a10:
This is one of the funniest movies to come out of SNL. I think the music perfectly captivates whats happening on screen.
Cameron W gave it a10:
Funniest movie ive ever seen.
Jed D. gave it a 9:
Chris Kattan is a comic genius. This movie is just plain silly. Great if you want to laugh a lot. Soundtrack is good too. See also Night at the Roxbury.
Mike Q. gave it a 5:
This is the epitome of mediocrity.
Dan H. gave it a 10:
LOL. Oh my god this movie is hilarious.
