- 70The DissolveNathan RabinThe DissolveNathan RabinIt’s modest, scrappy, and resourceful, a low-budget comedy that makes the most of a central setting and a cast packed with gifted improvisers.
- 70Village VoiceStephanie ZacharekVillage VoiceStephanie ZacharekThe movie is delightfully crude in places (including an instance of relay puking) and just plain silly-clever in others.
- 70Los Angeles TimesRobert AbeleLos Angeles TimesRobert AbeleIts modest (if occasionally gross-out) stabs at genre parody rarely insult our intelligence and even allow for the kind of retro deadpan silliness Mel Brooks used to underline his louder punch lines.
- 67The A.V. ClubMike D'AngeloThe A.V. ClubMike D'AngeloFunctions exactly like a sketch movie, using its meager, essentially irrelevant plot as a clothesline upon which to string a series of self-contained bits. At least half of the bits are pretty damn funny, though, and that’s arguably all that matters.
- 63Slant MagazineChuck BowenSlant MagazineChuck BowenRobert Ben Garant and Thomas Lennon display a freewheelin' sense of invention that should be watched closely, because they have the raw stuff of major comic filmmakers.
- 50Film.comWilliam GossFilm.comWilliam GossGiven Garant and Lennon’s background on “The State” and “Reno 911,” their scattershot approach as filmmakers isn’t especially surprising; for every oddly specific Shakespeare reference or detour to the local po-boy joint, there’s an ongoing parade of puke and an awful rubber suit with which to contend.
- 20The Hollywood ReporterJustin LoweThe Hollywood ReporterJustin LoweGarant and Lennon’ script, with its insistence on constantly repeating the same gags, rapidly wears thin.
- 12Boston GlobePeter KeoughBoston GlobePeter KeoughAs a five-minute sketch it would have been so-so. But as a 93-minute slog through witless puerility, it seems like an eternity in hell, baby.
