What's surprising is that the film has genuine laughs and smart-aleck asides that will keep even nonfans happy (although it helps if you at least like the genre).
By Chris Kaltenbach FULL REVIEW

Cheerfully embracing his status as cult B-movie genre megastar even as he sends it up, Bruce Campbell's sophomore directorial excursion, My Name is Bruce, is a big in-joke of definite if limited appeal.

Campbell fans will get a kick out of it. The rest of the world will likely find this spoof a little too insular and indulgent.
By Sean Axmaker FULL REVIEW

Perhaps because Campbell is a purist at heart, My Name Is Bruce is as awful as anything he has done - a broadly silly gore comedy in which no gag is too cartoonish to be indulged in at least once and preferably three times.

A dull, tired mess.
By Marc Savlov FULL REVIEW

The only things missing from this unfunny Campbell love fest are a passable script, Sam Raimi's inventiveness, and a level of sophistication beyond nose-picking and ass grabs.

Willing as Campbell is to Shatner-ize himself, his movie will appeal only to true believers.
