Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
The material is thin and pandering and almost criminally negligent in bypassing opportunities for humor.
– Peter Rainer,

rotten:
A Film in Which Steve Martin Will Appear in Full Hip-Hop Drag With Appropriate Slang for Not Less Than Six Minutes.
– Jane Dark,
Village Voice,

rotten:
A comedy constructed from tapped-out ideas.

rotten:
You have somebody as smart as Steve Martin, and as smart and appealing as Queen Latifah in a movie like this. To have such an awful, offensive story is a real disappointment.

fresh:
A comedy that successfully plays with stereotypes, both racial and personal.
