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

Chicago ReaderLisa Alspector
The earnestness of some of the drama in the only deceptively unsophisticated narrative may be more shocking than any of the gross-outs. Read full review

Village VoiceJessica Winter
A frat-boy remake of "Pink Flamingos" which isn't all bad. Read full review

Boston GlobeJay Carr
His (Green) new gross-out comedy is crude and stupid, but just as often rudely funny. It doesn't so much push the envelope as shred it.

New Times (L.A.)Luke Y. Thompson
The film is a somewhat disjointed affair that, like the man himself (Green), is occasionally brilliant, frequently repetitive and sometimes merely annoying. Read full review

TV Guide MagazineSteve Simels
To be fair, this is hardly the worst gross-out comedy ever made; it's nowhere as misogynistic as, say, "Tomcats," and in the end, it probably won't leave you in a state of utter nihilistic despair. Read full review

USA TodaySusan Wloszczyna
Not since Andy Kaufman's reign of terror has a supposed funnyman been so self-indulgently persistent in testing a fan's patience. Read full review

Formidably stupid.

New York Daily NewsJami Bernard
Exhaustingly manic but curiously unfunny movie. Read full review

San Francisco ChronicleWesley Morris
The film is like watching Ozzy Osbourne bite the head off a rubber bat -- it's only almost heinous. Read full review

Rolling StonePeter Travers
It feels manufactured to be suitable for mass consumption. Read full review

Mr. ShowbizCody Clark
It's a gleefully unfettered gross-a-thon first --also second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth -- and a movie perhaps seventh.

Do not bring children to this movie unless you want them to have nightmares for weeks. Read full review

Washington PostDesson Thomson
In a sense, this is a horror film, worse than anything Andy Kaufman could dream up, in which Green tries to outgross himself. Read full review

L.A. WeeklyJohn Patterson
Lurches from one set-piece stomach-lurcher to the next with nary a nod to narrative coherence. Read full review

Washington PostStephen Hunter
The movie is simply not professional. It's not, even by the lowest standards of Republic B-westerns in the '30s or bad, cheap horror films in the '50s, releasable. Read full review

SalonStephanie Zacharek
It's a performance that screams "Look at me!" louder and bigger than an elephant dick. And every bit as subtle. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesGene Seymour
Even the movie finds itself asking when it'll end. Not soon enough. Read full review

Austin ChronicleMarc Savlov
Green, 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. Read full review

Chicago Sun-TimesRoger Ebert
This 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. Read full review

SlateDavid Edelstein
The most appalling comedy of the millennium after "Joe Dirt," which is so supernaturally terrible that it levitated me out of the theater after 40 minutes. Read full review

Chicago TribuneRobert K. Elder
Bad decision after bad decision occurs over 93 minutes.

VarietyRobert Koehler
One of the most brutally awful comedies ever to emerge from a major studio. Read full review

Entertainment WeeklyOwen Gleiberman
To dismiss this movie for being ''offensive'' would be to offer it high praise. Read full review

New York PostLou Lumenick
So awful it qualifies as cruel and unusual punishment.
