New York Daily News Jami Bernard
A guilty pleasure, right up there with "The Water Boy."
Read Full Review >Los Angeles Times Gene Seymour
Manages to sustain a sweet, funny groove for, say, 65 of its 85 minutes.
Read Full Review >Entertainment Weekly Owen Gleiberman
One more case of a winning ''SNL'' character tamed by the wan, fizzled farce around him.
Read Full Review >Philadelphia Inquirer Steven Rea
A collection of double entendres that would make a stevedore blush.
Read Full Review >San Francisco Chronicle Peter Stack
An unblushing sex farce often so raw it might make even fairly open-minded people feel a bit uncomfortable.
Read Full Review >TV Guide Frank Lovece
The film is a harmless extension of the skit, aimed at fans and best viewed as a showcase for Meadows's considerable talents.
Read Full Review >Chicago Tribune John Petrakis
Not without its humorous moments, but they are too few and far between.
Read Full Review >Mr. Showbiz Larry Terenzi
80 minutes of comic mistiming and missed opportunities.
Read Full Review >The New York Times Dana Stevens
Has some funny, dirty-minded jokes, a few amusing cameos (including Julianne Moore in clown makeup) and a soundtrack loaded with juicy cuts of mid-70's vintage soul and funk.
Read Full Review >San Francisco Examiner Wesley Morris
As movies about relic sex machines go, this one lacks mojo.
Read Full Review >USA Today Mike Clark
This Paramount release doubles the insult because it rips off the title of one of the studio's best-remembered Jerry Lewis comedies.
Read Full Review >LA Weekly F. X. Feeney
The story sinks, along with any deeper laughs, under boringly formulaic motivations and plot twists.
Read Full Review >Variety Robert Koehler
The question isn't where is the love but where are the laughs?
Read Full Review >Washington Post Rita Kempley
Another cheesy, overdrawn and witless "Saturday Night Live" takeoff.

Billy B. gave it a0:
Even worse than what the critics give it credit for! SNL needs to stop with these movies based on their skits. First there was the coneheads, then superstar, and now the ever so dreadful Ladies Man
