Los Angeles Times Kevin Crust

Recycling is alive but not well in the outmoded teen comedy Dirty Deeds, with a result that is more toxic than intoxicating.

ReelViews James Berardinelli

Dirty Deeds boasts a passably entertaining idea that is butchered in the telling.

Entertainment Weekly Scott Brown

Too mild to be dirty, yet too dirty to be charming, and altogether too generic to be much of anything.

LA Weekly Tim Grierson

Directed lifelessly by sitcom vet David Kendall (Growing Pains), Dirty Deeds never shows real curiosity about its characters' pubescent world.

Rachel gave it a7:
Light and entertaining caricature that doesn't pretend to be realistic.

garrett m. gave it a10:
Funny and well acted.

G W gave it a5:
Mildly amusing, but the deeds weren't all that dirty, and a movie with a title like that needs to go further. Basically, because they went for PG-13, they made it too pedestrian and not very much fun. Paint-by-numbers. Could have been better, but leaden in the telling.

jah l. gave it a10:
Brilliant.
