Reaction: The home video sales almost saved the financial performance of this movie. Comedies have proven difficult for us to successfully market so far. If those difficulties continue for too long, we might just have to get out of the comedy business and focus on other genres exclusively.
"I personally loved this quirky mix of laughs, romance, strong violence. Vince Vaughn is great playing against type as an imposing man of few words - but what he does say is funny." - Clark Davis, JoBlo.com
"Given the pedigree of the cast, crew, and source material, it's all the more disappointing that this movie falls flat. The funny moments are never funny enough and the shocking moments are never shocking enough." - Geoff Bray, Slant Magazine
"The film is hilarious in patches, shocking in patches, utterly convincing in patches and close to brilliant in patches." - Charles Yost, The Oregonian
