Corny and crude at times, but effective in its single-minded pursuit of laughs.

Top CriticEverybody needs a little burlesque fun with his digital reprogramming, and the politically incorrect good times barely let up in this story.
04/09/04
A scattershot assortment of jokes that is funniest when it sticks to its neat premise.
04/08/04
Kesselman keeps the movie crackling with the raucous energy absent since Mel Brooks' heyday.

Top CriticDesperation is the project's principal quality.

Top CriticThe movie starts out hilarious but like The Hammer's Jewish mother, it starts to nag at you after awhile.

Top CriticKesselman's thin script generally is funniest when it's riffing on Jewish stereotypes and goyish bigotry.

Top CriticAn insubstantial but highly entertaining flick.
12/20/03
Top CriticA crass, sophomoric and, more to the point, offensively unfunny parody.

12/19/03
A hit-and-miss affair.

Top Criticplays like a lower (much, much lower) budgeted, Jewish version of Malcolm Lee’s funnier Undercover Brother

Would have worked brilliantly as a five-minute late-night comedy sketch.

Top CriticUnfunny rather than outrageous as intended.
