Miami Herald
Frenetic, maddening, exhilarating, ridiculous, fascinating farce of an action-comedy-thriller-mystery-whatever.

Boston Globe
Gallo has delivered a clever suspense comedy that, thanks to a taut script, creative direction, and first-rate performances from its leads, gives Double Take more weight than one would expect from a genre crowd-pleaser.

Philadelphia Inquirer
Snappily written and even more snappily directed.

An even-handed mixture of suspense and comedy that aims to play fair with the audience on both fronts.

San Francisco Chronicle
Decidedly lowbrow.

TV Guide
There's so much going on it's hard to keep track, and after a while you may be tempted to give up.

Seattle Post-Intelligencer
A bafflingly unfunny comedy.

USA Today
As buddy pics go, this is pretty much not even worth a single look, let alone a double take.

Chicago Tribune
We've since seen plenty of self-satisfied smart alecks, and Freddy, as written and played, brings nothing new to the party.

You get the feeling that everyone was in a good mood and the margaritas were pouring, but neither Gallo nor anybody else ever found a bottom line for this movie or its characters.

If ever a film was fit only for straight-to-video release, it's this one.

New York Post
The often difficult-to-follow plot is sort of "Traffic" for nitwits.

Entertainment Weekly
Another racial cartoon buddy movie that eagerly flogs its best laugh -- indeed, its only laugh -- in the trailer.

Chicago Sun-Times
I realized there was no hope for the movie because the plot and characters had alienated me beyond repair. If an audience is going to be entertained by a film, first they have to be able to stand it.

New York Daily News
This dismally strained comedy defies laughs and doesn't contain an ounce of internal logic.

The New York Times
A shell game passing as entertainment.

Washington Post
Most of the comedy, such as it is, consists of the uppity Chase acting "street" and the ghetto-fabulous Tiffany putting on moneyed airs. But, if you've seen the trailers, you already know that.

Chicago Reader
Poorly paced action comedy.

LA Weekly
An ostensible action-comedy that can't seem to get either side of its genre equation right.

It's doubtful that anyone, even executors of Greene's literary estate, will be able to discern much of the source material in this frenetic trifle.

It's not just bad, it's ugly. Not just stupid but really aesthetically displeasing. The sooner this movie disappears from sight, the better.
