Critics Consensus

Tusk is pleasantly ridiculous and charmingly self-deprecating, but that isn't enough to compensate for its thin, overstretched story.

'Tusk' opens with the sound of two men laughing at their own jokes, so I guess a doff of the cap is due to the filmmaker for encapsulating his movie so efficiently, right from the jump.

Justin Long and Johnny Depp join the "Clerks" director for a weird, unpredictable movie that still feels like only Smith could have made it.

2.5/5

Parts of it are funny, parts are suspenseful and parts of it - to put it mildly - are hideously awful. Horrible may be a better word than horrific.

For me, the Johnny Depp cameo ruined this film. I was really into it until he showed up and took the story in such a different direction that it couldn't recover..

1/5

It had a lot of promise, particularly in the first act, but it quickly goes off the rails. Lots of rambling coupled with inconsistent performances made this a chore to get through.

...You could save a lot of time by just fast forwarding to the scene where Wallace meets Howard, and the scene with the transformation reveal. Everything else is unfunny blubber.

I wouldn't consider this movie well known, but it is to people who are film nerds. I've been curious about it, and when I watched it, I thought it was an interesting concept, just made with a poor story and uneven pacing.

The acting from Justin Long was great, Michael Parks was a convincing weirdo! I loved the writing and the original story that came to life through an interesting film; Kevin Smith is a really good writer and Director. If you hate this movie then you hate life.
