Critic Reviews

Bob Graham

Delivers plenty of laughs and succeeds on a level that recent ``SNL'' movies (``It's Pat!'' and ``A Night at the Roxbury'') didn't. Read full review

Lou Lumenick

The funniest "SNL" movie since "Wayne's World." Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Steve Simels

A delightful surprise, a tightly written, savvy slapstick comedy with genuine heart. Read full review

Peter Travers

No dice...But no apologies are needed for Shannon--she earns her star spot.

Chris Kaltenbach

What it is not is funny. Read full review

Mary Elizabeth Williams

You'd have thought, in his infinite wisdom, the Lord would at least send stinkers like this direct to video. Read full review

John Anderson

Sophomoric movie about annoying protagonist. Awkward more than funny. Will Ferrell as Jesus provides most amusing moments. Lame overall.
