Variety Robert Koehler
There seems to be no bottom to Going Down, a lame also-ran in the rapidly declining teen gross-out comedy genre.

LA Weekly Mark Olsen
Going Down is woefully lacking in the comedy (or the sex for that matter), and even some of the teens look a little long in the tooth.

Los Angeles Times Kevin Thomas
Teen sex comedies don't come more mindless than Joseph A. Pineda's Going Down, a movie so seriously underinspired it's hard to imagine it appealing to anyone but fantasy-prone middle schoolers who can barely wait to live it up like their older brothers and sisters.

Eric gave it a9:
Hilarious. Great laughs. Great acting. Renee Estevez was fantastic.

Jules gave it a 0:
Possibly the worst movie I've ever seen. A collection of unbelievably bad actors given embarrassingly bad lines. I very nearly turned it off.

Brendan H. gave it a 7:
Starts off slow, but turns out great. Raunchy, well-acted and well-paced. Good, old fashioned fun Decent afternoon viewing. Renee Estevez steals the show as an emotional prostitute. Recommended.

Rant O. gave it a 1:
Terrible in every way.

[Anonymous] gave it a 10:
Great movie!

Tom W. gave it a 7:
Hillarious and fun. Mindless sexcapades.

Stephen H. gave it a 1:
I didn't really see much of the film because I was "Going Down" on the girl next to me. But it sounded horrible.
