What separates Strangers with Candy from other high school comedies, or from most mainstream comedies in general, is the cast's total dedication to their parts.

There's nothing sweet about this very strange character, Jerri, but you still can't wait to see what outrageous thing she'll do next.

After a bracingly funny beginning, the film gets bogged down in silly plot permutations and repetitive humor, which was more effective in half-hour television doses.

[R]eplicate[s] in a raunchy cartoon how the chaos of our experience correlates more than we may care to admit to the chaos of our personalities.

In spite of its demented flavor, the movie surprisingly doesn't push the envelope the way the series did.

Clever and undeniably peculiar, Strangers with Candy suffers from both a complete lack of focus and a terminal case of self-satisfaction.

Connoisseurs of the show likely relish the induced awkwardness and off-kilter rhythms of the piece; a good part of its appeal was the blank and baffled looks it induced in the uninitiated.

A raunchy, subversive little satire about unlikely redemption.

Walks a fine line of comedic self-awareness, and only on occasion loses us in a haze of condescending wit.

Colbert steals scenes as Chuck Noblet . . . The cracked, sordid style of Strangers with Candy half-bewilders and half-appalls you into laughing.

This plays like a 'Season One' DVD, silly moments interspersed with lots of dull plot and lame high-school send-up situations.

Like the classic comedies of Chaplin, Hawks and Woody Allen, Strangers With Candy is more than just a good subjective comedy -- it's a great objective film.

[T]here's demented, and then there's the plain sick and twisted tastlessness and hilarious audacity of this afterschool special gone horribly, wonderfully wrong.

The key to its success -- at least whatever success it can muster -- is the manic work of Amy Sedaris.

Stretched to feature length, it's not consistently funny, but there are inspired moments and whipsmart lines that suggest how good the show was.
