"While the cast gives their best effort, ID is a comedy that falls a bit flat. Many of the films comedic gags have executed better in other films." - Stephen Ridley, Boston Globe
"Sure, the film feels a bit unoriginal and messy at times, but the parts that are original are pretty hilarious. I dare you not to laugh when Jaeden Lieberher shows up. James Franco and Seth Rogen work their usual chemistry to great effect in their cameo appearances." - Shawn Moseby, Fresno Bee
"Comedy is a pretty subjective genre, so take this review with a grain of salt. That said, I honestly just didn't find the film to be as funny as it seems to think it is. Rob Zombie's grungy film-making style often gives the scenes a weird look that doesn't really work with the story at hand." - Charles Yost, Oregonian
