What to Know

Critics Consensus

Corky Romano continues the trend of bad movies featuring SNL members. The jokes are tired and unfunny, and the slapstick feels forced.

Nell Minow Common Sense Media Eighth rate tired, unimaginative mob comedy. Rated: 2/5 Dec 22, 2010 Full Review Susan Stark Detroit News Rated: 1/4 Mar 10, 2007 Full Review Lisa Alspector Chicago Reader Unlike the pathetic protagonists of many a smart dumb comedy, Corky never becomes sympathetic, and without this fundamental irony the movie doesn't have a leg to stand on. Feb 28, 2007 Full Review Debbie Lynn Elias Behind The Lens Corky Romano, is the perfect antidote for what ails you. Although shallow and at times uneven, Saturday Night Live's ever-funny Chris Kattan as Corky, is an endearing goof-ball with a heart the size of Texas, guaranteed to make you smile. Nov 7, 2019 Full Review Brian Orndorf Modamag.com Rated: 2/10 Mar 31, 2007 Full Review Jeffrey Westhoff Northwest Herald (Crystal Lake, IL) Although Corky Romano is not based on a Saturday Night Live sketch, it is still as dismal. Rated: 1/4 May 30, 2003 Full Review Read all reviews

Lisa M Chris is a wonderful playful lovable actor, and this movie does not disappoint! Full of amazing slapstick and puns and beyond! An absolutely classic comedy to enjoy! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/08/23 Full Review Lee H Why people dog this movie — I'll never know. If you like Chris' slapstick and goofy styles, this is a fun one. Along with Peter Falk, Berg and Chris Penn, this one is silly and entertaining. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/24/23 Full Review weasel 8 This movie is crazy hilarious!!! I loved it!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/06/24 Full Review Audience Member One of the worst movies on Disney + I have ever seen. Full of unlikeable characters, wooden acting, painfully unfunny "skits" and terrible cinematography, I can't recommend this to anyone. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Ignore all these reviews!!! It's SO funny! If you want a dumb movie to forget all your worries, this is THE one. My family quotes this movie weekly and we watched it 15 years ago. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review jordan m I think it helps a lot going into critically-panned comedies to read the reviews beforehand as it helps you to go in expecting to hate it. It turns out I did not hate this movie at all and found some of the jokes landed perfectly. Not all of them, mind you, but there were several, and that's more than what the reviews lead me to believe there would be. The underlying plot was 100% implausible, obviously, and a few of the jokes at the very end used totally unnecessary slurs, but this still doesn't reach the top 10 worst comedies I've seen. I certainly don't recommend spending your time on it, but it's not horrible. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
