What to Know

Critics Consensus

Its flagrantly silly script -- and immensely likable cast -- make up for most of its flaws.

Julie and Brandy Autostraddle I'll go, it's a comedy, it'll be dumb and funny. And it was dumb. But it wasn't that funny yet. Aug 31, 2021 Full Review Anna Smith metro.co.uk An irreverent, guilty pleasure, frat boy comedy, it blows a big fat raspberry at sci-fi fans and tells them to stick their Flux Capacitors where the sun don't shine. Aug 23, 2018 Full Review Ed Koch The Atlantic It may be a generational gap that turned me off, but I thought it was all quite ridiculous and the dialogue worse than coarse. Trust me and not those in their 30s. It is not worth your time. Jan 13, 2018 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review The result is the kind of lazy comedy that demands a lazy audience. If you’re feeling lazy, you could do worse. Rated: 2.5/4 Aug 22, 2023 Full Review Rene Jordan El Nuevo Herald (Miami) This farce is not as dumb as it seems. [Full review in Spanish] Aug 8, 2022 Full Review James Croot Stuff.co.nz Those of a certain age will find this an enjoyable blast back to the past. Rated: 3.5/5 Oct 25, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

Me D I had a few chuckles but even though it wasn't that funny it was certainly amusing. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/25/24 Full Review Bradley F Holy hell. The only way to enjoy this movie is with a fresh concussion. Nothing makes sense. Was ANYONE sober while coming up with what would eventually be called a "script"? Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/17/24 Full Review Larry K One of the best comedies of all time. Lougle! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/09/24 Full Review Gaming U Classic comedy movie Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/21/24 Full Review Stoner J Way underrated, absolutely hysterical from start to finish and definitely the funniest movie of 2010 Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/06/24 Full Review Tim V Some movies just get better and better as time goes by - this is for some reason repeat viewing at least once a year. Yeah - it awful, but in the best possible way. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/19/23 Full Review Read all reviews
