Critic Reviews

Lisa Nesselson

Uproarious romp, grounded in believable if gleefully implausible human behavior, is a model of comic timing. Read full review

Steven Rea

The Farrellys manage to have their cake and scarf it down, disgustingly, too. Read full review

Owen Gleiberman

Grodin always seems like a real guy, whereas Stiller, even working it, is just the designated loser-clown of the megaplex era. He's too harmless to break any hearts. Read full review

Walter Addiego

It's funny in spots if you can tune out the Farrellys' ultra-crass jokes - along with any memory of the first movie. Read full review

Roger Ebert

There are small moments of real humor. Read full review

Kyle Smith

So laugh-poor that it shoves all its comedy chips on a bet that you can build a movie around nose gags. Read full review

Colin Covert

The results are not endearing. Eddie comes off not as a beleaguered Everyman but a heedless, dishonest knob trying to undo a deal that gave him exactly what he deserved. The real surprise is Carlos Mencia, playing an exuberant clerk at the resort hotel. But when Carlos Mencia is the funniest thing in your movie, you've got serious problems. Read full review

Absolutely hilarious. If you liked Meet the Parents, this is up your alley. Where is the acclaim for this movie? I can't believe it hasn't gotten more attention.
