USA Today
Interspersed between the misogyny and flatulence jokes apparently left over from Pooh's co-written script for "Friday," there's a story about an ex-con.

Entertainment Weekly
Empty jokes hang heavy.

Mr. Showbiz
It's a chilling piece of legal hysteria, and ripe for nasty farce. But Pooh plays it all for buffoonish pratfalls and fart jokes.

TV Guide
This picture is just shapeless and shrill. It's disposable, forgettable and aimed at an audience that doesn't care.

Chicago Tribune
Most of the humor is aimed at 14-year-olds.

San Francisco Chronicle
This is a sloppy hash of a movie, poorly directed and plotted in a way that looks as if it were improvised on the spot.

New York Post
A criminally slow, all-but-laughless blaxploitation comedy.

A.O.Scott
Feels like a very long late-night comedy sketch that occasionally veers beyond tastelessness toward something worse.

Eric Harrison
The bad news is that it's also vile, not to mention sophomoric and unfunny.

Variety
Exuberantly rude and crude, but generally more frantic than genuinely funny.

Could have afforded to be a little loftier and still be quite funny. Instead, it's a waste.

Salon.com
A dumb and sloppy movie.

Chicago Reader
For every jab at hypocrisy in law enforcement or in the media's crime coverage...there's a scene's worth of uninflected scatology or misogyny.

LA Weekly
Three strikes maybe, but no stars and no thumbs up (except the one way, way up its own ass).

Austin Chronicle
Reeks as badly as it sounds.

New York Daily News
This needlessly vulgar exercise in overuse of the n-word bills itself as a comedy. Even the outtakes over the closing credits don't live up to that.
