Cape Times Carina Chocano Mean little tale from the Farrelly brothers. | 1 | |
The Citizen Peter Feldman he Farrelly brothers and Ben Stiller have combined forces for the comic remake of The Heartbreak Kid — but it fails miserably on all fronts. | 8 | |
BBC Anna Smith The Heartbreak Kid offers up a handful of sharp laughs as Eddie tries to trade in old for new, but not enough to distract from his unsympathetic character. | 10 | |
Chicago Sunday Times Roger Ebert The film is a squirmy miscalculation of tone. | 10 | |
ReelViews James Berardinelli he Heartbreak Kid, while not without its share of tiny, ephemeral pleasures, is a surprisingly flat and unamusing comedy. | 10 | |
ScreenIt Those looking for sophisticated comedy will need to search elsewhere (and may walk out if they're sensitive to crude sexual humor), but those desirous of the antics found long ago in There's Something About Mary may just enjoy the filmmakers' return to their old form. | 10 | |
