    Light and entertaining caricature that doesn't pretend to be realistic.

    Mildly amusing, but the deeds weren't all that dirty, and a movie with a title like that needs to go further. Basically, because they went for PG-13, they made it too pedestrian and not very much fun. Paint-by-numbers. Could have been better, but leaden in the telling.

    It's one of those cliche ridden, coming of age movies that always seem to make me smile no matter how redundant. The only problem I have with DIRTY Deeds is that it doesn't go nearly far enough.

    Dirty Deeds boasts a passably entertaining idea that is butchered in the telling.

    Too mild to be dirty, yet too dirty to be charming, and altogether too generic to be much of anything.

    Directed lifelessly by sitcom vet David Kendall (Growing Pains), Dirty Deeds never shows real curiosity about its characters' pubescent world.
