Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes

J. R. Jones, Chicago Reader: The story makes no sense, and the two lead characters are repulsive, but I must confess I laughed immoderately at this clever piece of junk. Read more

Tom Keogh, Seattle Times: Odenkirk keeps the absurdity both contained and free-flowing. Read more

Keith Phipps, AV Club: A better film would have matched Arnett's seemingly effortless intensity throughout. This okay film does merely okay by it. Read more

Tom Russo, Boston Globe: This new goof might have been funnier still if the premise weren't so derivative, so just been there, done that. Read more

Adam Graham, Detroit News: It works, and has the makings of a cult comedy to-be. Read more

Scott Brown, Entertainment Weekly: Feels like a cheapo, soft-R retread of the dimwits' progress from Dumb and Dumber Read more

John Monaghan, Detroit Free Press: The trick to a comedy like this is to make an audience care about these goofballs, but we're just like everyone else the brothers come into contact with. We simply wish they would go away. Read more

Gene Seymour, Newsday: These sibs make the dim bulbs of such Farrelly Brothers' comedies as Dumb and Dumber and Me Myself and Irene seem like Mensa Club members. Read more

Lisa Rose, Newark Star-Ledger: Better suited to 10 minutes of television than 90 minutes of cinema. Read more

Jack Mathews, New York Daily News: The upbeat brothers are full of sweetness and love, but the script is made of taffy, and if you can chew and laugh at the same time, you're welcome to it. Read more

Lou Lumenick, New York Post: Excruciatingly acted and ineptly directed. Read more

Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel: Read more

Peter Hartlaub, San Francisco Chronicle: It's hard to hate a movie that tries so valiantly to resurrect the career of Lee Majors. But even that noble task ultimately fails. Read more

Jeff Strickler, Minneapolis Star Tribune: It isn't funny. Read more

Darel Jevens, Chicago Sun-Times: Early on you realize these dorks aren't going to get any funnier, and it's a sinking feeling. Oh, no! Oh, no! Oh, noooo! Read more

Stephen Cole, Globe and Mail: The film is another example of how talented TV performers often lose their way in movies. Read more

Geoff Pevere, Toronto Star: Neither Odenkirk's limp direction nor SNL alumnus Will Forte's script -- not nearly clever enough to get away with its questionable gags about matters sexual and racial -- provides much by way of actual plot or comedy. Read more

Claudia Puig, USA Today: It's a moderately funny premise in search of some real laughs. Read more

Peter Debruge, Variety: Aforced split-the-baby comedy that proves unwise from its very conception. Read more
