Reviews for Corky Romano
Top CriticUnlike 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.

Top CriticStick with the website.

Top CriticEver hear about the guy who liked to pummel his head with a sledgehammer, because it felt so good when he stopped? Maybe the same fellow would appreciate Corky Romano.

Top CriticIt's depressing enough to sit through an unfunny comedy, but it's worse to watch Falk, Penn and Berg having to earn a living like this.
10/12/01
Top CriticIt's strictly for someone looking for a goof-off.
10/12/01
Top CriticThat the acting is abysmal ... is beside the point. No one could make this stuff work.
10/12/01
Top CriticAlmost from the beginning, you're jarred by lame gags that fall horribly, embarrassingly flat.
10/12/01
Top CriticA crushingly conventional mob comedy that also borrows more than a few pages from the Adam Sandler playbook.
10/12/01
Top CriticWith a great many contemporary comedies mistaking excess for invention and hyperactivity for dynamism, Corky Romano displays genuine heart.
10/12/01
Top CriticThis isn't just bad. It's an abject failure whose lame nuttiness evokes bad dinner theater more than a major studio movie.
10/12/01
Top CriticA wobbly cinematic vehicle.
10/12/01
Top Critic[Kattan] rewards us with the usual comic ratio -- a mild chuckle or two in 90 minutes or so.
10/12/01
Top CriticIntroduces this sissy boy of a hero and proceeds to bland out everything that's ridiculous about him.
10/12/01
Top CriticKattan is still a funny guy, but with movies as stupid as Corky Romano, his future as a movie star seems sketchy at best.
10/12/01
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.
10/12/01
Top CriticCan best be described as 86 minutes of nonstop forgettableness.
10/12/01
Top CriticFrankly, there wouldn't have been enough shtick here to warrant an SNL skit.
10/11/01
Top CriticAll empty clichés and dead-on-arrival jokes.
10/11/01
Top CriticIt's no compliment to note that with very little tinkering, Corky Romano could be a Martin Lawrence picture.
