Aside from the raunchy or gross-out set pieces, which are hit-and-miss, the movie rides the same few jokes all the way to their natural conclusions, before then trying to tap into the "heart" at the center of its story and completely throwing off its tone. In the end, I think I spent less time laughing than I did waiting for the film to be over. Read full review

It’s no classic—it fails to develop many of its most promising themes and ends just when it’s really starting to cook—but it’s clever, sincere, and genuinely funny, and will be endlessly rewatchable to anyone that clicks with it. Read full review

“This is crude humor,” André ad libs in the end credits gag reel. It sure is, throughout, but the good-natured performers commit to their bits so much one can’t help but smile. Read full review

Matt Spicer’s comedy never reconciles its distinctively different tones. It aims to be a raunchy comedy with a sweet center but always plays as off-balance. Read full review

I found a few moments here lightly amusing . . . but it’s largely, disappointingly short on real laughs, a panicked maximalism to its bawdiness replacing anything more smart and thought through. Read full review

If Little Brother feels familiar while you’re watching it, it’s because this is a film so pre-digested that it’s as if a bird ate Twins, What About Bob? and Planes, Trains and Automobiles and then spit the contents into your mouth. Read full review
