Reviews & comments
If the world is to truly end in 2012 then this movie is justification enough...
As a connoisseur of bad movies, I've put myself through agonies that make root-canal without anesthetic look like kids stuff.

USA Today

Los Angeles Times
pressFeels like an elementary school recess that's gone on too long, the merrymaking strained and the participants looking tired even when they're in full comic dudgeon.
Hollywood Reporter
pressWitless and sloppily constructed, getting by on fart gags, homeless jokes, Latino stereotypes and that old favorite, explosive chimichanga diarrhea.
