Critic Reviews

A.O. Scott

The movie's comic heart consists of a series of indescribably loopy, elaborately conceived happenings that are at once rigorous and chaotic, idiotic and brilliant. Read full review

Jay Carr

His (Green) new gross-out comedy is crude and stupid, but just as often rudely funny. It doesn't so much push the envelope as shred it.

Susan Wloszczyna

Not since Andy Kaufman's reign of terror has a supposed funnyman been so self-indulgently persistent in testing a fan's patience. Read full review

Stephen Hunter

The movie is simply not professional. It's not, even by the lowest standards of Republic B-westerns in the '30s or bad, cheap horror films in the '50s, releasable. Read full review

Film.com Robert Horton

Do not bring children to this movie unless you want them to have nightmares for weeks. Read full review

Lou Lumenick

So awful it qualifies as cruel and unusual punishment.

Marc Savlov

Green, who looks like a chinless, hollow-eyed pederast at the best of times, is simply out of his league here, and the fact that the film drags interminably when it's actually a very average 90 minutes long betrays its essential emptiness. Read full review

Best comedy which was made and seen by me in 3rd millenium. This movie is like my favorite cartoon characters ( ren & stimpy ) will be in movie which wont be animated . Movie is crazy all the way with moments of total raw violance / disgusting unexpected images which i expect to saw in R&SBest comedy which was made and seen by me in 3rd millenium. This movie is like my favorite cartoon characters ( ren & stimpy ) will be in movie which wont be animated . Movie is crazy all the way with moments of total raw violance / disgusting unexpected images which i expect to saw in R&S cartoons ( especially in "The lost episodes " - wasnt even in TV ) . Personaly i cant wait till some another comedy be better than this masterpiece . Hopefully that day will come ;) . Just one good tip for new viewers : Do not watch this on ur date especially not a first 1 cos that will be ur last with that chick ;) . I saw this movie 8-10 times. Sometimes even girls watch that but unfortunatly just one girl out of ten finish it so far . When u see that sceen u will understand . My recomandation is watch it without female first and if u think so that ur girl , wife , mom or grandmom can handle such art than go on :D .

For people who love CRAZY CRAZY CRAZY stuff will find milestone 10/10 for sure .

For majority will movie ends in somewhere around middle - most unexpected scene in comedy so far . 0/10

And its just up to u in which group are u in .… Expand

I consider this movie "the great profiler." The fact that the critics hate this movie makes me lose all respect for them. I also use this movie to judge people. If somebody says they don't like it then I know the person should be avoided. Tom Green and Rip Torn are brilliant together here.I consider this movie "the great profiler."

I literally cannot believe the scores are so low on this film, its one of the most hilarious movies ever made! Its dumb, insane toilet humour but done to a point where its so far over the boundary of what's acceptable that it has to be looked at in an unconventional way. I have to commendI literally cannot believe the scores are so low on this film, its one of the most hilarious movies ever made! Its dumb, insane toilet humour but done to a point where its so far over the boundary of what's acceptable that it has to be looked at in an unconventional way. I have to commend Rip Torn, who is amazing as Gordy's angry as hell, dissaproving Dad, the relationship between Torn and Tom Green is what made it so great for me. Don't believe the pompous oaf reviewers on this one, I watch a lot of films and this one is truly a classic.… Expand

By no means a classic, it is however definitely a cult classic, and the first 1/3rd of the film is just a barrage of superbly crafted set pieces which you don't expect, which you won't have seen before, and which you may even have to pinch yourself at. The momentum slows down after thatBy no means a classic, it is however definitely a cult classic, and the first 1/3rd of the film is just a barrage of superbly crafted set pieces which you don't expect, which you won't have seen before, and which you may even have to pinch yourself at. The momentum slows down after that though and it does begin to drag about 2/3rds of the way through, redeeming itself towards the end. A must see simply for the fact that I doubt you'll ever see a film quite like it, and there are definitely folk out there who will fall in love with it, much like myself. If I ever have kids then the second they can understand TV I'm making them watch this, and letting them fall asleep to it every night.… Expand

I'm giving this a 4 because I Iaughed so hard at Tom Green making an ass out of himself and because I thought Rip Torn was just out funny. But it is massively disgusting and flat out retarded.

No amount of mindless upvoter drones could save this film from the sheer awfulness that it is. Simply put: Worst film ever made. Period. You lose, good day sir.
