Consensus: The humor is on the level of a corny sitcom, and the tone is condescending.

A strong contender for this year's Razzie sweep.

A bushel of yokel gags and labored boudoir misunderstandings ... culminating with a tipping-the-bellhop gag that first appeared in cave paintings.

Stupid, infantile, redundant, sloppy, over-the-top, and amateurish. Yep, it's "Waking up in Reno." Go back to sleep.

An extremely unpleasant film.

...it's hard to imagine what these four stars saw in the script...

Cruel and inhuman cinematic punishment... simultaneously degrades its characters, its stars and its audience.
10/23/02
A few zingers aside, the writing is indifferent, and Jordan Brady's direction is prosaic.
08/29/01
Put it somewhere between Sling Blade and South of Heaven, West of Hell in the pantheon of Billy Bob's body of work.

Inconsequential road-and-buddy pic.
08/08/01
I can't begin to tell you how tedious, how resolutely unamusing, how thoroughly unrewarding all of this is, and what a reckless squandering of four fine acting talents...
05/03/03
Brady achieves the remarkable feat of squandering a topnotch foursome of actors ... by shoving them into every clichéd white-trash situation imaginable.
10/31/02
It won't harm anyone, but neither can I think of a very good reason to rush right out and see it. After all, it'll probably be in video stores by Christmas, and it might just be better suited to a night in the living room than a night at the movies.

A lot of weirdness from otherwise good actors.
