      What to know

      Critics Consensus

      Tusk is pleasantly ridiculous and charmingly self-deprecating, but that isn't enough to compensate for its thin, overstretched story. Read critic reviews

        I've been somewhat ambivalent about most of Smith's career but I love the fact that he's going down this increasingly bizarre and unexpected road. This movie obviously isn't going to work for everyone, but I honestly knew I wouldn't care how bad it was, I just had to see it. And really, it's not that bad. It's too comically bizarre to be bad.

        It's a good idea but handled shoddily, then Johnny Depp turns up and manages to make everything even worse.

        If this film accomplished anything, it's allowing me to gain the self control I never had to not punch the screen (mostly Justin Long's face). Tusk is a disastrous film that bears nothing worth while for the duration of the entire film. It has one of the corniest stories I've ever seen, all the characters are unredeemably repulsive, the dialogues were likely written by a 5 year old, the acting was even worse to begin with, I don't know how Smith even allowed this film to be released at all. Smith never fails to disgust me as a self proclaimed film director.

        "Is man, indeed, a walrus at heart?" Though it's not a good movie, Tusk proves to be the best film Kevin Smith has made in years. It's insanely bizarre and horrific, but oddly captivating in a strange sort of way. The story follows a podcaster named Wallace who answers an ad by an elderly man wishing to trade stories of his exotic travels, but he turns out to be a serial killer who captures Wallace and begins to surgically transform him into a walrus. Both Michael Parks and Justin Long give incredible performances and really commit to their roles. The problem is with Smith's storytelling and directing, which is inconsistent. And the ending doesn't really work. Yet despite its weaknesses, Tusk is a fascinating horror-comedy that's perversely entertaining.
