John J. Puccio

Planet Sick-Boy
Jon Popick
3/4
"Stiller portrays a human accident better than anyone and he definitely knows how to extort laughs and sympathy from his audience"

Jordan Hiller
2.5/4
"Es lamentable que el talento de DeNiro se esté desperdiciando en cintas que no terminan de cuajar, por muy taquilleras que éstas sean"
Moviola
Jorge Avila Andrade
8/10
"The gross-out factor is surprisingly low, and the combination of Stiller and De Niro is inspired: No father could be more formidable, no prospective son-in-law better equipped to squirm."
TV Guide's Movie Guide
Maitland McDonagh
3/10
"An unfathomably awful film that will undoubtedly be a smash hit."
Flick Filosopher
MaryAnn Johanson
3/5
"There is a sub-category of comedy ... in which we laugh at the hideously humiliating experiences of some poor sap. If this is your kind of humor, than this is your kind of movie."
Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies
Nell Minow
4/5
"Owes about 55 percent of its charm to De Niro, who can be hilarious just sitting there."
