Nell Minow Movie Mom Rated: B- Feb 18, 2012 Full Review Nev Pierce Empire Magazine Sometimes this kind of comedy just goes too far into rubbishness to make it back. Rated: 1/5 Oct 23, 2009 Full Review David Jenkins Time Out A throng of outrageous supporting characters do little to salvage this stalled effort. Rated: 2/5 Oct 23, 2009 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review The unfunny attempts to be wacky and distasteful are just so ineffective, so agonizingly flat that the whole runtime becomes a waiting game for the end credits. Rated: 1/4 Sep 4, 2023 Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins It outstays its welcome even before it starts. Rated: 3/10 Nov 28, 2020 Full Review Dave White Movies.com Rated: 2.5/5 Apr 4, 2011 Full Review Read all reviews

cbcguy Hilarious, had some unexpected cameos as well. Jokes fly at you a million miles a minute, especially in the first act. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/23/24 Full Review Larry K Don't know how this rating is so low, this movie is hilarious Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 08/08/23 Full Review StephenPaul C LOL, the funniest 01 hour: and 29 minutes ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/02/23 Full Review Real T Just sit back and laugh Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/15/23 Full Review Steven B I thought Jeremy Piven of Entourage fame was an amazing lead with too many stars of comedy and action watching his back. I don't understand why there are so few people who agree with me. That's ok. Whatever..........m_/> Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Chuck People P One of my favorite comedies from this era. Unbelievably quote worthy!
