Perry isn't the only thing wrong with Serving Sara, but he's the thing that takes a pleasantly mediocre movie and turns it into an unpleasantly mediocre one.

Chicago Tribune
When Serving Sara reaches beyond its grasp and dreams big, Perry and Hurley float the movie on aplomb and wit. When the film gears down for slower-paced set pieces and disposable villains, its stars find themselves knee-deep in a giant comedy cow pie.

For all the hot air expended, this film ends up all smoke and no heat.

Serving Sara, which often feels more like serving time, is one of those tortured Hollywood romantic comedies that starts with a passable premise and turns into an inventory of flat gags and weak lines set against a travelogue backdrop.

Even dumber than Perry's "Three to Tango," this latest sitcommy exercise is sporadically funny in spite of itself -- and not quite as dreadful as you would suspect.

Romantic screwball comedies are supposed to be at least a little romantic, but there's no chemistry between Perry and Hurley.

Entertainment Weekly
The few jaunty, ''Friends''-inflected lines Perry does get off are lost among the cow pies.

Little more than a mall movie designed to kill time.

Serving Sara is D.O.A., with nary a laugh to be found.

Downright terrible: impossible to enjoy, impossible to believe.

Portland Oregonian
A lazy, trite comedy that's made by people who don't care either.

Christian Science Monitor
Perry and Hurley don't have much chemistry, and the story is so dumb you might want to sue it for stupidity.

Boston Globe
How inept is Serving Sara? It makes even Elizabeth Hurley seem graceless and ugly.

Charlotte Observer
Let me say, in my desire always to be positive, that Serving Sara is the funniest film I know where a man sticks his arm up a bull's rectum to massage its prostate.

Defined by three characteristics. It is as stupid as a decapitated worm. It is as irritating as a mosquito buzzing around one's head. And it is as funny as "Schindler's List."

This movie doesn't play; it just lies there, waiting to be kicked around by anyone unfortunate enough to have shelled out good money to see it.

Long before Serving Sara drags its butt to the finish line, you wish you were watching a different race.

With the dog days of August upon us, think of this dog of a movie as the cinematic equivalent of high humidity.

TV Guide
Surprisingly, Hurley comes off better than either of her demonstrably more versatile co-stars; she's not much of an actress, but she has an engagingly saucy swagger and her open-mouthed expression of outraged disbelief is priceless.

Misbegotten late-summer special.

New Times (L.A.)
Numbingly feeble -- The dialogue is witless, the situations are lame, the humor juvenile and the chemistry between the stars nonexistent.

LA Weekly
All Serving Sara can offer is Perry with his arm shoulder-deep up a longhorn steer's backside, a wasted supporting cast that includes Vincent Pastore and Cedric the Entertainer, and a huge, comedian-shaped hole where Hurley's performance should be.

It's the kind of bad movie that gives bad movies a bad name.

As a child, I thought pure hell meant eternal agony in the flames of Satan. Now I know it's looking down at your watch and realizing Serving Sara isn't even halfway through.
