Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
The amusingly deadpan Thornton cock-slaps the wishy-washy Scott through a medley of visual gags and dick jokes.

rotten:
A dreary and depressing alleged comedy that takes a talented cast and a promising germ of an idea, and kills it dead.

This may be the most laugh-free comedy of the year.

Between Mr. Thornton's wry performance and Tami Reiker's nuanced wide-screen photography, you half-expect Woodcock to deliver more than formulaic laughs.

This movie makes a much better case study for aspiring entertainment executives than it does a cinematic experience. What it most emphatically is not is a date movie.
