Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Priceless.
– Peter Travers,
Rolling Stone,
11 May 2001
fresh:
A very funny, very unusual ensemble comedy that falls somewhere between slapdash and brilliant, an improvised comedy with more hits than misses.
– Liam Lacey,
Globe and Mail,

rotten:
Where This Is Spinal Tap took rock music and the media as its focus - fat, juicy targets just asking to be lampooned - Guest's target here is small-town provincials.
– Daniel M. Kimmel,
Variety,
14 May 2004
fresh:
A madcap gem.
– Owen Gleiberman,
Entertainment Weekly,

rotten:
This 1997 comedy may be amusing if you feel a pressing need to feel superior to somebody, but the aim is too broad and scattershot to add up to much beyond an acknowledgment of small-town desperation.
