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.
-
50The 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.
-
50The movie is so silly I found myself snickering a couple of times, just before slumping down in my seat in mortified embarrassment.
-
40This 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.
-
40Predictable and tiresome.
-
40What at times feels like a maniacal romp becomes just another sporadically funny, but mostly lame, piece of disposable product.
-
38Worth your time and money? Fuhgeddaboutit.
-
38The 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.
-
38This is a lazy, careless film that feels strangely unfinished.
-
25Nobody would claim it adds up to much of a comedy. It's strictly for someone looking for a goof-off.
-
25The 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.
-
25The 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.
-
25Corky 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.
-
25It'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.
-
20Frankly, 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?
-
20As 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.
-
12A 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.
-
11The only actors who walk away unscathed are Kattan -- the best thing in a very bad movie -- and former cover girl Shaw.
-
10Ranks as the most slapdash comedic star vehicle to hit screens since Harland Williams misfired with the career-stalling "RocketMan."
-
10It'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.
-
10Corky never becomes sympathetic, and without this fundamental irony the movie doesn't have a leg to stand on.
-
0It 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.
-
0Simply, the worst movie of a wretched year.

JenniferH.10This is one of the funniest movies to come out of SNL. I think the music perfectly captivates whats happening on screen.
