Critics Consensus

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

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.

A seriously underrated film that doesn't deserve the hate from the critics. This isn't a great crime comedy like 'The Big Lebowski' or 'A Fish Called Wanda', but it is worth some laughs. It's certainly better than nearly all of the Adam Sandler movies I've seen. This is a mindless slapstick comedy that is not meant to be taken seriously.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

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.

Eighth rate tired, unimaginative mob comedy.

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.

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.

Although Corky Romano is not based on a Saturday Night Live sketch, it is still as dismal.
