- 50Baltimore SunChris KaltenbachBaltimore SunChris KaltenbachRelentless in its crudity, so indiscriminate in its pursuit of tasteless laughs, so pure in its determination to offend, one almost has to admire it. It's even funny. Sometimes.

- 25Chicago TribunePatrick Z. McGavinChicago TribunePatrick Z. McGavinTechnically it does not qualify as one of the worst American-made movies ever. It only feels that way. The movie's offenses are too numerous to catalog.
- 20SalonCharles TaylorSalonCharles TaylorIt is a testament to our national determination that Nathan is not stymied by his almost complete lack of talent, his slipshod timing or his crude comic sensibility.
- 20Chicago ReaderJ.R. JonesChicago ReaderJ.R. JonesCuba Gooding Jr. is the kind of guy who does ten minutes of shtick every time the little light in the fridge comes on, and for years I've been waiting for him to just go away. If this dud comedy is any indication of the scripts he's getting, I may not have to wait much longer.

- 12Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertChicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertNot that the film is outrageous. That would be asking too much. It is dim-witted, unfunny, too shallow to be offensive.
- 10VarietyDavid RooneyVarietyDavid RooneyWashout. Lacking the mojo even to be offensive in its stereotypical view of gays and women, this excruciating cocktail of sitcom plotting and gross-out humor makes a clunky cheesefest like "The Love Boat" look like breezy, sophisticated fun.
