Critic Reviews

40 Los Angeles Times
Recycling is alive but not well in the outmoded teen comedy Dirty Deeds, with a result that is more toxic than intoxicating.
38 ReelViews
Dirty Deeds boasts a passably entertaining idea that is butchered in the telling.
33 Entertainment Weekly
Too mild to be dirty, yet too dirty to be charming, and altogether too generic to be much of anything.
30 LA Weekly Tim Grierson
Directed lifelessly by sitcom vet David Kendall (Growing Pains), Dirty Deeds never shows real curiosity about its characters' pubescent world.
30 Variety
A dispiritingly lazy high school comedy.
30 The Hollywood Reporter
Dirty Deeds is as feeble as a teen comedy can get.
