" Non-stop naughty-body-part references with a level of humor more appropriate on a 4th grade bathroom wall than a Hollywood screenplay." -- Beliefnet

" The Jackass crew uses their stunts to test their immunity -- to skull fractures, to deadly infections, to permanent damage, and, most importantly, to growing up." -- Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies

" Stone, whose portrayal of mature sexiness was breathtaking in last year's Broken Flowers, is so over-the-top here that Tramell appears to be channeling Cruella De Vil. Or maybe Carol Burnett vamping as "Nora Desmond."" -- Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies

" I looked at the ceiling, not casting my eyes heavenward for assistance but trying to find something more interesting to look at than what was on the screen. The ceiling won." -- Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies

" A child bank robber heartlessly manipulates her two best friends and risks the lives of her friends, her baby brother, and everyone else. What were they thinking?" -- Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies

" [The] plot would make even the lightweight storylines of "That's So Raven" seem literary. It would make the lightweight storylines of a Bazooka Joe comic strip seem literary." -- Beliefnet

" This pea-brained vanity production does not have the energy to remember from one scene to the next what it is about or why it is on screen. It is attention-deficit film-making." -- Chicago Sun-Times

" Instead of ending, it all just gives up with a sort of "never mind" ending that even Mr. Woodcock would have to call a foul on. Indeed, that is the best possible assessment of the movie as a whole." -- Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies

" A clunky, lead-footed disaster, the stunning incompetence of its script and direction only exceeded by the shocking array of talented and successful performers who struggle in it as though they are going down for the third time. In quicksand." -- Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies

" In the Ashley Judd role we have Halle Berry, whose post-Oscar choices have included the notorious duds Catwoman and Gothika. Whoever told you to make this movie should be...sentenced to have to watch it." -- Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies

" What once held some promise of being a clever film explodes into a mess of trite plot devices and sad attempts to explain the rapidly degenerating vision of the filmmakers, who seem hell-bent (pardon the pun) on imparting some sort of religious lesson." -- Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies

" Eddie Murphy has taken his love for playing multiple roles, Jerry Lewis, crude humor, himself, and -- to be charitable -- his deeply conflicted feelings about women, and made a movie that is disgusting, unfunny, dull, and an appalling waste of talent." -- Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies

" Are there not... Two points in the adventure of the diver: This movie manages to be offensive and yet dull and predictable, as phony as a Kate Spade sidewalk knock-off bag and as unoriginal as the ready-for VH1 soundtrack." -- Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies

" Another year, another cheesy, hypocritical movie about how the true meaning of Christmas gets lost in the madness of Christmas. Except that this movie is, in itself, Exhibit A in the Christmas Madness category." -- Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies

" There's a happily ever after ending complete with cute new boyfriends. But on the way there, the movie has a surprising number of inapprpriate and ugly choices considering the target audience and the PG rating. " -- Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies

" The whole movie is a game of one-upsmanship, as each one tries to make the other more miserable. It gets increasingly ugly and painful. Then it ends." -- Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies

" Jokes that don't work the first time are dragged out interminably and then repeated. And the syrupy little lessons about the importance of family values are forced and synthetic." -- Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies

" As generic as its title, this drearily predictable and tushie-obsessed buddy cop movie wastes more talent in less time than straight-to-video releases." -- Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies

" Even by the suspended-disbelief standards of fluff it is unnerving; it creates a movie world that has no idea of the boundaries being violated." -- Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies

" Crude humor, weirdly homophobic insults, uncomfortably stereotyped bad guys, and a plot twist involving a swastika that the target age group won't understand or relate to. " -- Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies
