2/5 |
The pedestrian, predictable plot isn't really important; the film seems to exist merely as an excuse to string together gross-out sequences. Full Review |

You will laugh, and you’ll often feel embarrassed that you have. But you’ll feel more embarrassed for the actors who suffer the indignities of this material. Full Review |

1/5 |
With only a smattering of genuine giggles strewn across 90 minutes, this is heavy-handed comedy of the very worst kind. Full Review |

What we have here is a wannabe-outrageous comedy that flirts with the last taboo but then retreats. Full Review |

2.5/5 |
This movie sinks or swims on its humor, and frankly, the Farrellys don't appear to have been very good swimming instructors. Full Review |

Say It Isn't So proves to be an all too apt title. Full Review |

If it were up to me, I would make sure the Farrellys never made another film, or at least that I never had to see another. Full Review |

 2.5/4 |

First-time director J. B. Rogers and new screenwriters Peter Gualke and Jerry Swallow appear determined to include as many gross-out scenes as possible at the expense of telling a believable story. Full Review |
