What the Critics say

Cape Argus / The Star
Theresa Smith quote iconThe Shih-tzu's about to hit the fan.
15
Die Burger
Mariana Malan quote iconGalgehumor en bloed loop dik.

Cape Times
David Rooney quote iconHipster bloodbath.
15
Box Office
David Ehrlich quote iconMcDonagh's fanbase and a deep cast of character actors should prove irresistible to demos hungry for R-rated fare, but the film won't find its real audience until it hits ancillary markets.
10
Chicago Sunday Times
Roger Ebert quote iconThis is a delightfully goofy, self-aware movie that knows it is a movie. You've heard of a movie within a movie? I think this is a movie without a movie.
18
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers quote iconIt's crazy-killer fun.
15
ScreenIt
C. Fuchs quote iconAs long as you don't mind the material, it all goes down fairly easily and the performers are all game for what's asked of them. But it's one of those offerings where only a few signature moments will maintain a place in your memory, and writer's block won't get the blame for that.
