Entertainment WeeklyOwen Gleiberman
The film is consistently fun, and Tucker's comeuppance ? will leave you gasping (if not gagging) with laughter. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesKevin Thomas
The idea is that the guys' adventure proves transformative, but Tucker's dramatic I've-seen-the-light speech is charged with just the right degree of glibness to leave one skeptical. Read full review

VarietyRonnie Scheib
Distinguishes itself from such last-fling-before-the-wedding comedies as "The Hangover" with the grittiness of its Texas locales and the smug intelligence of its unapologetically narcissistic protagonist. Read full review

The A.V. ClubTasha Robinson
Tucker Max’s only real strengths are his outrageousness and his uncompromising self-confidence, but neither comes into play in this punch-pulling, frankly boring film. Read full review

The New York TimesStephen Holden
A mediocre gross-out movie that barely pushes the envelope. Read full review

Boston GlobeTy Burr
Slightly better than it should be. For Tucker Max, this possibly represents a triumph. Read full review

Austin ChronicleMarc Savlov
It's not a total wipeout: Czuchry embodies the Tucker Max(-ims) to a self-obsessed fault, and there are moments of rough comic brilliance scattered throughout, but really, this particular antihero is all anti- and zero hero. Read full review

USA TodayClaudia Puig
This unfunny, über-misogynistic adaptation of Tucker Max's audacious best-seller of the same name is unlikely to please anyone. Read full review

San Francisco ChronicleJustin Berton
If Max and his "Hell" collaborators feel stymied by the summer hit "The Hangover," they'd be justified to scream to the bromance gods that someone stole their film's concept. But those guys did it the right way, bro. Read full review

Time OutAndrew Grant
Painfully unfunny. Read full review

Village VoiceVadim Rizov
Visually incompetent to a painful extreme and almost never funny, but, worst of all, it doesn't have the courage of Max's unadulterated convictions. If you're going to offend the easily offended, at least go big. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterFrank Scheck
Achieves a certain cinematic distinction by outdoing "Dumb and Dumber" in sheer grossness and detail with its depiction of the unfortunate effects of explosive diarrhea. Read full review

Chicago TribuneMichael Phillips
The result just might be the most hypocritical feature in the history of film as well as the history of hypocrisy, and along with serving beer, I hope they show I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell in hell. Read full review

New York Daily NewsElizabeth Weitzman
This desperate effort by ­professional frat boy Tucker Max may be the most dismal movie of the decade. Read full review

The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Liam Lacey
Just when you thought this movie had run out of bad ideas, this last-minute outpouring of sanctimony feels like a whole new way of being slimed. Some movies come with parental warnings; this one feels as though it should come with a mandatory biohazard suit. Read full review
