Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
A comedy that successfully plays with stereotypes, both racial and personal.
– Jami Bernard,
New York Daily News,

rotten:

– Richard Roeper,

A comedy constructed from tapped-out ideas.

A Film in Which Steve Martin Will Appear in Full Hip-Hop Drag With Appropriate Slang for Not Less Than Six Minutes.
