- 38The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Liam LaceyThe Globe and Mail (Toronto)Liam LaceyBefore immediately handing the movie an F and sending it off to summer school, give the filmmakers, and especially co-star Jason Schwartzman, credit for their anarchic willingness to try anything to shock a laugh loose from an audience.
- 38New York PostJonathan ForemanNew York PostJonathan ForemanSo patchy in its laughs, so calculated in its grossness and so lacking in genuine comic exuberance, it makes you look at "Road Trip" in an admiring new light.
- 33Portland OregonianKim MorganPortland OregonianKim MorganA disappointing venture. If only it had been more clever, perhaps darker.
- 25San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleSan Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleA discordant comedy that gives bad taste a bad name.

- 20TV Guide MagazineMaitland McDonaghTV Guide MagazineMaitland McDonaghThe gags are familiar collegiate stuff, involving horny young men, horny old whores -- horny young tramps -- silly foreigners, uptight authority figures, homosexuals and sassy fat women.
- 20Film ThreatMichael DequinaFilm ThreatMichael DequinaThe title not only describes its main characters, but the lazy people behind the camera as well.

- 0Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertChicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertA dirty movie. Not a sexy, erotic, steamy or even smutty movie, but a just plain dirty movie. It made me feel unclean, and I'm the guy who liked "There's Something About Mary" and both "American Pie" movies.
