The jokes fall flat as often as not, and they’re not helped a whole lot by mediocre special effects and sloppy direction.

Consensus: Corky Romano continues the trend of bad movies featuring SNL members. The jokes are tired and unfunny, and the slapstick feels forced.

Reviews for Corky Romano
...as Townes Van Zandt sang, “Living’s mostly wastin’ time” anyway.

Stick with the website.

Chris Kattan should have been in silent comedy. He has the Silly Putty face of those old slapstick stars, and a sing-song, splitting-headache vox box that would have played much better in the silents.
03/10/03
The skits are barely funny enough for TV, let alone to make a feature film out of.
10/15/01
Don't see this if you respect anyone in the cast or comedy in general.
11/04/01
Can best be described as 86 minutes of nonstop forgettableness.

Top CriticThis broad comedy is laugh-packed from start to finish.
10/15/01
Unlike the pathetic protagonists of many a smart dumb comedy, Corky never becomes sympathetic, and without this fundamental irony the movie doesn't have a leg to stand on.
02/28/07
Top CriticThe concept is exhausted, the ideas are tired, the physical gags are routine, the story is labored, the actors look like they can barely contain their doubts about the project.

Top CriticIs Corky Romano worth your time and money? Fuhgeddaboutit.
10/11/01
All the non-Kattan scenes are padded with one-dimensional characters rehashing dumb jokes from the Police Academy playbook.
10/12/01
All empty clichés and dead-on-arrival jokes.
10/11/01
Pritts has no concept of comic timing, though Kattan's constant clowning and mugging would make it hard on any filmmaker.
10/12/01
Kattan is still a funny guy, but with movies as stupid as Corky Romano, his future as a movie star seems sketchy at best.

Top CriticChris Kattan is an undoubtedly funny actor, far funnier than anything presented in Corky Romano.
10/12/01
...his new FBI name is Corky Pissant, pronounced just the way it sounds, and the rest of the humor in the movie doesn't get any better.
06/10/02
There's one, maybe two laughs the whole time. Where's Mango when you need him?
10/12/01
Many of the comic set pieces (or pieces of set pieces), fall dead flat ranking this effort somewhere above “The Ladies Man” but below “Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo”
