Not so much a coherent story as a string of clichés.

As feeble as a teen comedy can get.

Even viewers who can still laugh at jokes about accidental urine consumption will be hard pressed to crack a smile -- or, for that matter, a wallet.

Movies like Dirty Deeds are supposed to be in bad taste -- but that's only excusable if they're funny, which isn't the case here.

Recycling is alive but not well in the outmoded teen comedy Dirty Deeds, with a result that is more toxic than intoxicating.

Dirty Deeds is too mild to be dirty, yet too dirty to be charming, and altogether too generic to be much of anything.

There isn't one decent performance to be had from a cast of amateur actors (adult actors included) that couldn't make dialing a phone look believable or funny.

The film's biggest (and, truthfully, only) laugh comes from seeing ex-major leaguer Todd Zeile and current steroidal slugger Jason Giambi credited as executive producers.

[An] unfunny raunch-fest.

The fact that the whole setup is idiotic wouldn't make a difference if the damned thing were funny.

Audience Reviews for Dirty Deeds

Zach Harper: I.A.B... It's All Bullshit ! "10 Dares. 12 Hours. One Wild Night."This review is for the Unrated version. I haven't had the pleasure of seeing the PG-13 version and probably never will.Well, I guess Dirty Deeds was a little better than I expected; but it still sucked. Nothing about it is really that funny
