After the schadenfreudian thrill of watching beautiful people humiliate themselves wears off, it has the same annihilating effect on your will to live.

More stupefying follies may come, but it's impossible to imagine how they'll beat this one for staggering idiocy, fatuousness or pretension.
Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal
Rotten
Every bit as unwatchable as the deafening negative chatter would suggest.
Christy Lemire, Associated Press
Rotten
It's hard to tell who this movie was intended for: those who think that a mentally challenged boy singing dirty rap lyrics is cute and funny? Those who find Ben Affleck's brow to be ineffably mysterious? Students of Stoic philosophy looking for a test?
Michael Agger, New Yorker
Rotten
Brief but flamboyant cameos by Christopher Walken and Al Pacino helped keep me distracted from the noble intentions and the silliness.
Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader
