The year`s funniest movie to date.
Top CriticSurprisingly funny
With the exception of a couple of remarkably clumsy moments, 'Funny Farm' maintains a delightfully sweet, goofy level of humor. (Blu-ray Double Feature Edition)
...cute, easygoing, and engaging.
Silly, but Chase adds his own brand of humor.
One of Chase's better vehicles (although that may be damning with faint praise)
Not to bad for a Chase comedy. Love those lamb fries.
One of Chevy's best.
Unwatchable.
Middling star vehicle that wastes its director's talents.
Lightweight and fluffy, but Chase is surprisingly kinda charming!
