90It's a laff riot that also contains a torrent of scathing social satire that couldn't be more timely in light of the dismantling of affirmative action.
-
63This is not great comedy, and Wayans doesn't find ways to build and improvise, as Carrey does.
-
60The gags, like the plotting, have a giddy edge that can be sharp, but just as often they go nowhere.
-
50It's made by a director who knows comedy, working from a script founded on a surefire slapstick premise.
-
50Created as a comic vehicle for the lead actor, pic depends entirely too much on Wayans to carry the day, but at this point he is far more eager and willing than he is funny.
-
50Big laughs are few and far between in this 1998 movie, which is more successful as motivational anecdote than as comedy.
-
42Her setups here are so witless and pedestrian that there's no imagination to the crude slapstick punchlines; we're just watching a bland jester pantomime sensory overload.
-
40There's a surprising sweetness under its crude exterior.
-
40If you can be satisfied with only Wayans' Tourette's syndrome bit, or his perfect timing in the scene where he just kisses a girl and creams his pants, you'll go home happy.

30There's more bathroom and slapstick humor than a sixth-grader could stand, and a veritable flood of drool, blood and less mentionable effluvia, most of it courtesy of Mr. Wayans as he tries to be – you know – funny.
-
25It seems to have had the opposite effect on the director's taste, as she strives for new levels of raunchiness.
-
20This newest laff-riot from the once and future director of The Decline of Western Civilization documentaries is a lamentable mess, chiefly made up of stale gags that went bad sometime during the Kennedy administration and a stunningly unengaging romance that has all the snap of a moist cotton swab.
