Village VoiceMelissa Anderson
Likably stoopid, the latest from comedy troupe Broken Lizard (Super Troopers, Beerfest) mines plenty of jokes from eating out and being served. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterEthan Alter
The movie offers enough solid laughs to ensure a decent audience on DVD and cable. That audience could have been even larger, however, were the proceedings just a little smarter and a whole lot funnier. Read full review

VarietyRonnie Scheib
It is the presence of Duncan as a Mike Tyson-esque, malaprop-spouting ex-champion that, at least momentarily, lifts the pic out of its mediocrity. Read full review

The New York TimesNeil Genzlinger
Has its share of funny moments. But it also has its share of tired ones, like the subplot involving the inadvertent swallowing of a ring. Read full review

Funny more often than not. Worth checking out on video. Read full review

The film is set in a celeb-owned Miami restaurant and many of the gags--exploding entrees, the swallowing of a diamond ring, on-the-job drunkenness--feel like leftovers. Read full review

New Orleans Times-PicayuneMike Scott
Early on in The Slammin' Salmon, a customer sends back a plate of undercooked fish. I can't imagine a better metaphor for a movie that is named after a fish and that is as half-baked as this one is. Read full review

New York Daily NewsElizabeth Weitzman
Thirteen-year-old boys big enough to sneak into R-rated movies are presumably the prime audience for this witless comedy from the Broken Lizard troupe. Read full review
