Consensus: Those that haven't tired from Farrelly brothers' brand of comedy may still find some laughs here. Otherwise, the slow pacing and unimaginative shock gags will start to wear on the viewer.

Reviews for Say It Isn't So
Boring, distasteful and predictable with brief flashes of wit that don't occur frequently enough to make the wait between chuckles worthwhile.
03/23/01
Top CriticIf you like your comedy crude and your romance sappy-sweet, this is some good fast-food movie goin'.
03/23/01
Say It Isn’t So attempts a copycat offensive in distractingly hurky-jerky style; the script moves in fits and starts and the cutting doesn’t smooth things out a bit.
03/23/01
Top CriticA film that attempts to milk one gag for 93 long minutes.
03/23/01
Top CriticThrow in bland performances by Klein and Graham -- and Field's irritatingly over-the-top turn -- and you've got a formula for disaster.
03/23/01
A horrifyingly moronic comedy that is boring rather than outrageous.
03/23/01
Top CriticAnother witless slob comedy.
03/23/01
The Farrelly brothers have finally gone and done it. They've become ... soft.
03/23/01
These aren't really jokes in the sense that something funny is happening. You're mostly expected to laugh at the idea that there are people who aren't laughing, which is just shallow and incredibly easy.
03/23/01
The movie doesn't understand that embarrassment comes in a sudden painful flush of realization; drag it out, and it's not embarrassment anymore, but public humiliation, which is a different condition, and not funny.
03/23/01
Top CriticThere's no getting around the fact that far from seeming a labor of love, Say It Isn't So seems merely labored.
03/23/01
Top CriticLittle more than a string of gross bathroom jokes.
03/23/01
The jokes are sparsely sown and what happens between them is duller than C-SPAN during a filibuster.
03/23/01
Rogers's film is vigorously tasteless, crammed with gags about cripples, nipples and getting your arm stuck up a cow's backside.
03/23/01
Although there are a few good laughs in it, most of the film stays at the crudely unfunny level.
03/22/01
The jokes about dead animals, gunk in the hair, incest and all other taboos are flatter than the road kill Gilly finds himself picking up for a living.
03/22/01
Top CriticThis consistently unfunny movie made me feel like I'd lost the will to laugh.
03/22/01
More sweet than offensive.
03/22/01
Although sharply funny in parts, it follows Mary's blueprint without variation.
