A dark comedy of the low brow nature -- filled with fart and gay jokes. Even Liam Neeson and Sandra Bullock cannot save this failure.

Weird exercise in toilet humor.
Top CriticNot only is the script incomprehensible, the film wasn't edited or directed -- it was crammed into a Cuisinart.
A half hour in and still, the plot, tone, and setting are incomprehensible.
Gun Shy is worth at least a shot at a matinee.
The movie is marred by an overreliance on unfunny bathroom gags.
Gun Shy can't rise on wobbly legs.
Sure it falls apart right at the end--but up until that point it's a gem of an underrated comedy.
[Gun Shy is] not boring as much as it's...forgettable.
A quirky comedy about middle-aged burnout.
