Josh Bell Filmcritic.com The entire film is full of lazy, mean-spirited gags that say nothing about the admittedly ripe-for-satire target of celebrity adoptions. Rated: 1/5 Jun 18, 2010 Full Review Brian Orndorf DVDTalk.com If it sounds like a topic ripe for a sincere discussion, let me remind you that we're talking about Pauly Shore here. Adopted is nothing more than a half-assed Comedy Central special. Rated: D+ Jun 10, 2010 Full Review Read all reviews

Ethan A This movie is gold… and by that I mean it just is so ridiculous it’s funny. If you don’t see the humor in this you take things way too seriously. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 11/21/24 Full Review EPICSTUFF Really Lighthearted also surprisingly really funny i just can't stop smiling and watching Real Nice Film Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/14/23 Full Review Audience Member It's so racist, it'll make you cringe & fear for Pauly's life with the stupid things he says & does IF you believe it was real... it wasn't. As my bf says,"its just Shooooooooowwwwwbizzzz. " lol. Reminded me of BORAT, but not as funny. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member It is obvious that Shore is slightly off these days, but his deranged antics are still pretty funny. This mockumentary is clearly staged at points, but manages to walk the line between sweet and funny pretty well. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member These mockumentaries are a sweet little change of pace for a slapstick actor who has long been wasting his time. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member Has its moments. Thankfully it's a mockumentary in every way. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Read all reviews
