- 60The New York TimesA.O. ScottThe New York TimesA.O. ScottThe movie's comic heart consists of a series of indescribably loopy, elaborately conceived happenings that are at once rigorous and chaotic, idiotic and brilliant.

- 0Austin ChronicleMarc SavlovAustin ChronicleMarc SavlovGreen, 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.
- 0Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertChicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertThis movie doesn't scrape the bottom of the barrel. This movie isn't the bottom of the barrel. This movie isn't below the bottom of the barrel. This movie doesn't deserve to be mentioned in the same sentence with barrels.
