United States	Clark Collis Entertainment Weekly	"If the result features around 1,783 too many fart gags, to be fair, it also boasts a couple of genuine minor scares. Although there's no doubt that the film's most horrible sight is a way-too-long shot of Swardson's naked rump"	NEU

United States	Joe Leydon Variety	"A frenetic and freewheeling satirical comedy that only sporadically scores a bull's-eye while aiming at easy targets."	NEG
