Variety Staff Variety Lorinz has some inspired moments of self-absorbed craziness as Jeffrey, and Mullen reveals a fine talent for physical comedy when Elizabeth returns as the lumbering, mind-blown Frankenhooker. Mar 26, 2009 Full Review Nigel Floyd Time Out The resulting fragmented mess will no doubt keep some in stitches, but it is definitely less than the sum of its body parts. Jan 26, 2006 Full Review Vincent Canby New York Times It's the sort of film that would probably be most fun to see around midnight. Rated: 3/5 May 20, 2003 Full Review Kevin Carr Fat Guys at the Movies It has all the bawdy elements of late 20th century exploitation but plays so much tamer – and at times downright silly – to the modern eye. Rated: 2.5/4 Sep 22, 2023 Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins The entire concept could have been campy fun in the hands of more creative or capable filmmakers. Rated: 4/10 Sep 13, 2020 Full Review Felix Vasquez Jr. Cinema Crazed Just like a car wreck. Apr 22, 2012 Full Review Read all reviews

Anton H Love a hearty serving of dark humor? Here’s a smorgasbord! This is an EASY candidate for the zaniest, most ridiculously satisfying example of utterly shameless schlock and low-budget “Gore-ror” I have ever seen. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/08/24 Full Review Landon J A very forgettable one. Some good and interesting moments keep you interested but won't satisfy in the end. Sadly one that fumbles it's premise and lacks the kind of thing that would draw you to a title like this to begin with. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 10/31/24 Full Review Jens B This film has everything: hookers, crack, exploding hookers, Frankenhooker, death by lawnmower, a one-eyed brain-pet, a mountain of boobs, New York's most disgusting (but sexpositive) bar, pervy old man – a delight! Chef's kiss! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/07/24 Full Review chris h Horrible even for a B movie...don't bother Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/06/24 Full Review Finn P Best movie ever created tbh Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/19/24 Full Review Mauricio R Desconocía la premisa de la cinta por completo aunque no hay que ser un genio loco (cómo el protagonista) para darte cuenta que a pesar de ser algo descabellada es lo suficientemente hilarante y divertida para mantenerse de pie durante su más que accesible duración. La fotografía es algo inconsistente ya que consigue tomas muy interesantes que luego son contrastadas con otras que fácilmente podrían pasar como una cinta para adultos, y es que con la cantidad de desnudos con los cuenta la cinta y el titulo de ésta, gran parte de la audiencia podría decir que es una película triple equis con un guión que, eso sí, lidia con temas existencialistas y éticos. La cinta es alucinante, divertida y más que nada, muy explosiva; el tercer acto ES CINE. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/07/24 Full Review Read all reviews
