Thirteen-year-old boys big enough to sneak into R-rated movies are presumably the prime audience for this witless comedy from the Broken Lizard troupe.

Consensus: Potty humor and juvenile antics keep this workplace comedy from being particularly funny or memorable.
Synopsis: In the latest comedy from Broken Lizard, (the creators of Supertroopers and Beerfest) "Slammin" Cleon Salmon (Michael Clarke Duncan) is a former Heavyweight Champion of the World turned celebrity... [More]

Reviews for The Slammin' Salmon
Top CriticIt has its share of funny moments. But it also has its share of tired ones.
12/11/09
Top CriticThe Slammin' Salmon is so lifeless and drab that it doesn't even feel like it was made by Broken Lizard, and it goes without saying that it is easily the least impressive of their five movies. (I guess everyone can have their off days.)
12/11/09
Although it's a little slow at the outset and occasionally a trifle predictable, The Slammin' Salmon is still a rollickin' time at the theater.
12/11/09
Moments of light laughter fueled by Broken Lizard's non sequitur brand of shock humor are served with a flimsy plot and even flimsier characters.
12/11/09
Much of the film's humor hovers around crotch level. If jokes about mental illness, terminal disease and sex with orangutans sound funny to you, go for it.
12/11/09
Top CriticThis fratty National Lampoon-style comedy (written by and starring the Broken Lizard troupe of comics who made Beerfest and Super Troopers) is funny more often than not. Worth checking out on video.
12/11/09
Top CriticA Hollywood California-roll gone bad, with super-sized stereotypes, underdone pratfalls and tasteless one-liners.
12/10/09
If you're in the mood for buffoonery, you'll probably enjoy this dumb-but-funny marathon of back-stabbing, physical gags, potty humor and appealing cast chemistry.
12/10/09
You would think any movie with the word "salmon" in the title would have to be funny. Think again.

Top CriticIntolerable, aimless
12/10/09
It is the presence of Duncan as a Mike Tyson-esque, malaprop-spouting ex-champion that, at least momentarily, lifts the pic out of its mediocrity.
12/10/09
Top CriticOnly one thing might be worse: the thought of Comedy Central's airing this bomb four times a day.
12/09/09
Was anybody holding their breath for a Morgan Fairchild cameo? Here she is, playing herself: the cosseted star of a TV cop drama. She seems very patient.
12/09/09
Duncan's terrific timing and inspired Tracy Jordan–isms transform the dinner-theater vibe to dinner as theater.
12/08/09
Top CriticMichael Clarke Duncan steals every single scene ... a very different role for the actor played so over-the-top that you can't help but be impressed and amazed.
12/08/09
Comedy troupe Broken Lizard returns with their fourth feature, which like its predecessors is funnier in concept than execution.
12/07/09
Top CriticThe film isn't any uglier than its antecedents, but it is more lethargic.
12/06/09
I couldn't list ten pure comedies from 2008 that produced as many laughs as The Slammin' Salmon and the way this year has started, it's hard to think that wouldn't hold true for 2009 either.
03/25/09
Easily the best work Broken Lizard has ever done.
