- 70L.A. WeeklyL.A. WeeklySandler crony Allen Covert, the star, producer and co-writer of this stunted-adolescence classic, hilariously explores a previously untapped nexus of stoner humor, joystick geekdom, elderly women and a martial arts-taught chimp.
- 50The New York TimesDana StevensThe New York TimesDana StevensIt cheerfully invites the audience to descend to their level, where no joke is too silly or raunchy, and a plot is just a way of passing time between game levels and bong hits.
- 40Film ThreatFilm ThreatA touch above the usual adolescent male friendly films of Happy Madison's previous on-screen massacres (see "Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo" for example”) but it isn't quite as smart or funny as other recent comedies like "40 Year-Old Virgin" or "Wedding Crashers."
- 40The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckThe Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckThe film doesn't have much in the way of genuine laughs despite a plethora of attempted gags, but it does have a geniality that makes it hard to entirely dislike.
- 40VarietyRonnie ScheibVarietyRonnie ScheibEven Sandler diehards may pass on this mostly derivative paean to compulsive computer geekdom and male sexual dysfunction.

- 25TV Guide MagazineKen FoxTV Guide MagazineKen FoxLacking so much as a shred of wit and crammed with more product placements than jokes, this unendurable stoner comedy clearly disproves the movie-formula wisdom that two guys, one Xbox and a 2-foot-long bong add up to something funny.
