3/5 |

4/5 |
Everybody needs a little burlesque fun with his digital reprogramming, and the politically incorrect good times barely let up in this story. Full Review |
||
|
2.5/4 |
A scattershot assortment of jokes that is funniest when it sticks to its neat premise. Full Review |
||
|
3.5/4 |
Kesselman keeps the movie crackling with the raucous energy absent since Mel Brooks' heyday. Full Review |

|
2.5/5 |

||
|
2.5/4 |

|
B- |

||
|
|

||
|

|
3/5 |
Uneven, profane and occasionally flat-out hilarious. Full Review |
||
|
2/4 |
A hit-and-miss affair. Full Review |
||
|
2.5/5 |
plays like a lower (much, much lower) budgeted, Jewish version of Malcolm Lee’s funnier Undercover Brother Full Review |
||
|
1/5 |
Would have worked brilliantly as a five-minute late-night comedy sketch. Full Review |

|
1/5 |
Unfunny rather than outrageous as intended. Full Review |
