Bertha Fox-D. gave it a9:
This is a hillarious movie. It took a couple of viewings before I "got" it, but it's a great film. It reminds me of the Bonnie Bakely trial. The woman was so despised that anyone who came in contact with her could have been culpable! Jamie Lee Curtis steals the show as a greasy spoon waitress who is having an affair with Mona's husband AND son! Worth seeing for sure!
Vee gave it a 6:
Not a masterpiece, but gives plenty of laughs. and they drive yugo's!!! that image alone cracks me up!
Eunice S. gave it a 0:
This is the most time-wasting movie I've seen. It should have been good, given the great cast. But it wasn't funny or even slightly amusing. Shame on the persons who actually produced this mess.
B. G. gave it a 9:
I love this movie.
Pat C. gave it a 3:
Like a lot of DeVito projects, has potential to be a classic. This one's chief comic device is to keep shooting itself in the foot.
Carla G. gave it a 6:
Surprisingly better than expected. Good cast (albeit with bad hair), but the critics were wrong, this movie is funny enough to watch. It would have been stronger in the hands of the Coen Bros., but still worth a look-see.
Matt C. gave it a 9:
Despite many reviews, this movie is actually pretty dam hilarious. If you enjoy random comedy with comedic (and sometimes perverted) plot twists, then this movie is for you. For the most part, if you liked the stupid and random humor in Dumb and Dumber, then you'll like this movie as well. If, on the other hand, you don't think that pregnant women drinking, a [purposely] out-of-place lesbian kiss, and "mismatched one-liners," are funny, then go watch a Disney movie and stop wining that the movie is amoral.
