Critics Consensus

Steve Carell's first star turn scores big with a tender treatment of its titular underdog, using raunchy but realistically funny comedy to connect with adult audiences.

If it were 20 minutes shorter, it would be that much closer to perfect.

Sandra Hall

Sydney Morning Herald

The script is little more than an excuse for letting a bouncy team of sketch comics have their heads. Unlike most films pasted together in this way, it displays a certain cohesion.

Deep Focus Review

Despite the constant tangents weighted by explicit-if-true dialogue about sex, Apatow imbues some impressive and rewarding commentary about creating healthy relationships. How often can a sex comedy claim that?

Rated: 3.5/4

The film wouldn’t be nearly as funny if we didn’t believe these characters or care about their relationships, and Apatow and his collaborators deliver on both counts.

Gone With The Twins

Just the basic pitch is enough to evoke smirks - coupled with the theatrical posters, featuring a bright-eyed, innocent-looking Carell.

Rated: 8/10

I can't believe this got such a positive rating. Maybe it was funny in 2005, or just in the US, but having watched the first half hour it was about as funny as a dose of piles.
