The image that best sums up this dismal comedy is Cedric the Entertainer cringing over a cell phone that's been hidden in a cow's rectum.

This makes an even worse job of its premise than you might expect, leaving it to the usual sidekick, Cedric the Entertainer, to provide the occasional laugh as a convict-turned-holy man.
Anna Smith, Time Out
Rotten
The highlights, or at least breaks from the tedium, come from Cedric The Entertainer.
Keith Phipps, AV Club
Rotten
Dull comedy.
Chuck Wilson, L.A. Weekly
Rotten
None of the girls are demonstrably embarrassed to be in the film, which speaks to either their work ethic or their poor taste.
