Gold Diggers

What to Know

Critics Consensus

It aspires to Farrelly-level offensiveness, but the PG-13 rating and a dearth of decent gags renders Gold Diggers tame, toothless, and dull.

Justin Chang Variety 03/31/2009
By turns pointless and pointlessly mean-spirited. Go to Full Review
Time Out 08/16/2007
The single punch line that sparks genuine laughter comes three minutes into the film; after that, these marriages are made in comedy hell. Go to Full Review
Hank Sartin Chicago Reader 01/05/2007
Nothing's quite so painful as failed comedy, and this atrocity is equivalent to a compound fracture. Go to Full Review

There's bad, there's unwatchable, and then there's National Lampoon. Go to Full Review

Truly this is one of the most off-putting, unpleasant and earth-shatteringly unfunny "comedies" I've ever seen. Go to Full Review

Stephen C @bob25009 Aug 19 Funny in 1 hour and 27 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The USA grossed over $403,200.00!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See more thiago s @Thiagostone Apr 2 Filme fraco, o roteiro é ruim, as cenas sao fracas, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, a história é fraca, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes para fazer o filme ser bom, mesmo com cenas picantes. See more Demented N 08/06/2023 Two stars for the two female stars National Lampoon's don't make good movies just how it is. This movie could have been ok but it was done and slapstick and bad it had a pretty decent cast just no plot .... if they focused more on the criss-cross murder plot it would of been Better. Its a 0 star movie but 2 stars just for the girls. See more 04/10/2022 The least funny PG-13 comedy movie ever, LOL. See more 03/21/2019 National Lampoon's have done much better comedies and this film's plot is ridiculous but I have to admit that I did laugh at some elements here. Will Friedle does well as a leading man in this movie and clearly tries to step out of his Eric Matthews character from Boy Meets World. It does go way over the top and tries to be as offensive as American Pie with Chris Owen who played Sherman in American Pie cast in Gold Diggers. I did laugh quite a bit here though and if you enjoy over the top comedies then this is for you. See more 11/03/2013 I am not sure why I even spent the time to watch this movie, but I knew what I was getting into. See more Read all reviews
