United States | LA Weekly | "McKittrick cites 'Dazed and Confused' as well as 'Clerks' as influences, yet he lacks the raw edge of early Smith and the existential drift of Linklater" | NEU |
United States | Los Angeles Times | "The filmmaker captures a certain exaggerated verisimilitude, but the comedy is surprisingly flat. The cast sells the occasional one-liner, but a Reynolds smirk can take you only so far." | NEU |

United States | The Washington Post | "It's lewd, crude and socially irredeemable" | NEG |
