Critic Reviews

Uproarious romp, grounded in believable if gleefully implausible human behavior, is a model of comic timing.

You can expect to fall about, snort and hoot, at times hard enough to hurt inner body parts that only doctors can identify.

This is a Farrelly film for adults, if not the entire family, and its a charmer, honest both to the nature of the loves we choose in haste, and the fear that makes us so hasty so often.

The Farrellys manage to have their cake and scarf it down, disgustingly, too.

Though the sitcom humor of this is much broader and funnier than in May's film, it is also the part most faithful in spirit to the original.

Farrelly brothers films are looking better and better, but aren't nearly as funny as their grungy early films that hit with the stealth and vigor of guerrilla commandos. Maybe there is a kind of heartbreak here after all.

Grodin always seems like a real guy, whereas Stiller, even working it, is just the designated loser-clown of the megaplex era. He's too harmless to break any hearts.

Though not as engaging as "Knocked Up," there is enough humor to keeps us entertained.

This remake is distinctly a Farrelly brothers' flick -- sentimental, rambling and raunchy.

The movie earns its R-rating with some graphic (and hilarious) sex scenes and a torrent of four-letter words, but this is a much more sophisticated enterprise than a mere gross-out comedy.
