What the Critics say | ||
Cape Argus / The Star Debashine Thangevelo A case of writer's block | 1 | |
Die Burger Jacques Liebenberg Moenie veel van hierdie vervelige en voorspelbare verhaal verwag nie. | 5 | |
Cape Times John Anderson Steady stream of humiliating setups. | 5 | |
The Citizen Peter Feldman On final analysis, Mr Woodcock is too awkward in its mix of gentle humour and wacky antics to work successfully — an extra dose of nastiness may have rectified this problem. | 12 | |
BBC Paul Arendt You don't go looking for high art in a film called Mr Woodcock, but in truth the title character's name is the funniest thing in an otherwise lame and confused comedy. | 5 | |
Chicago Sunday Times Roger Ebert To laugh at parts of this film would indicate one has a streak of Woodcockism in oneself. But to gaze in stupefied fascination is perfectly understandable. | 15 | |
eye Weekly Philip Brown Far from perfect, this modest comedy will hit home with anyone who ever saw gym class as an indignity. | 10 | |
ScreenIt While a few bits of slapstick elicited a chuckle or two from yours truly, I otherwise sat (or more accurately, squirmed) in my seat, stone-faced, waiting for the credits to roll and put us out of our misery. | 4 | |
