Add two stars-or even three-if you're as passionate about cheesy B-actor Campbell as he is about himself.

Perhaps the best thing that can be said about My Name Is Bruce is that Bruce Campbell has in fact appeared in worse movies.
Mark Olsen, Los Angeles Times
Rotten
Light as air, My Name Is Bruce is good for a mild chuckle, not a belly laugh. As any Campbell fan knows, managing expectations is key to getting the most from his work.
Reyhan Harmanci, San Francisco Chronicle
Fresh
Cheerfully embracing his status as cult B-movie genre megastar even as he sends it up, Bruce Campbell's sophomore directorial excursion, My Name is Bruce, is a big in-joke of definite if limited appeal.
Dennis Harvey, Variety
Rotten
Subtract Campbell from this movie's idiot-friendly equation and you've got just about any dimwitted horror comedy that's gone straight to video.
Jeff Shannon, Seattle Times
