"Billy Bob Thornton simply couldn't be better as the rude, tyrannical P.E. teacher whose answer to everything is '10 laps.'"
ReelTalk Movie Reviews
Betty Jo Tucker
1/5
"
Mr. Woodcock
is not really a crowd pleaser or some kind of 'dumb as dirt' delight. Instead, it's an apparent attempt to reset the demarcation when determining the lowest common denominator."
PopMatters
Bill Gibron

"Does anyone need further proof that perhaps Billy Bob Thornton is a comedy wet blanket?"

Brian Orndorf
1.5/5
"completely aimless and without the slightest sense of fun"

B-
"In spite of its piecemeal approach, "Mr. Woodcock" erupts with sidesplitting slapstick gags that more than compensate for subplots that never add up."

"Call
Mr. Woodcock
the latest version of The Billy Bob Thornton Movie."
PopMatters
Cynthia Fuchs
2/4
"...a tedious and hackneyed effort that surely (and hopefully) marks Billy Bob Thornton's final appearance as a comedically misanthropic curmudgeon..."
Reel Film Reviews
David Nusair
C
"Just another lamebrain, offensive and unappealing mainstream sitcom family comedy that recklessly makes light of child abuse."
Ozus' World Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
2/4
"Enjoyable enough while it lasts, but also instantly disposable."
TheMovieBoy.com
Dustin Putman
B-
"It's actually not a bad movie, with enough scattered laughs to make it worth seeing. At matinee prices, anyway. At the cheap theater."

Eric D. Snider
2/4
"Generically silly-coated and pointless, [this] "gym teacher from hell" frivolity has all the freshness of stale athletic socks tucked away in a pimple-faced boy's locker."
Movie Eye
Frank Ochieng
C-
"It's not offensive, just anemic. And even Coach Billy Bob can't whip it into shape."
One Guy's Opinion
Frank Swietek
1/5
"A comedy with unappealing characters and an ending that just doesn't make any sense given what has preceded it."
Spirituality and Practice
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
2.5/4
"Another addition to the Comedy of Humiliation genre plays like
Meet the Parents
with a lot less warmth."
Big Picture Big Sound
Joe Lozito
3/10
"The whole film is like a depressing nightmare."
DVDTown.com
John J. Puccio
1.5/5
"If Mr. Woodcock himself were to assess this movie, he'd say, 'This movie is a disgrace to all goopy, gelatinous, half-baked movies the world over.'"
Film School Rejects
Kevin Carr
D
"Watch out when the best thing to say about a movie is that director Craig Gillespie has staged one of the better 'getting catapulted off of a treadmill' scenes."
Reeling Reviews
Laura Clifford
1.5/4
"As disjointed as you'd expect from a film that was reworked extensively by a second director."
TV Guide's Movie Guide
Maitland McDonagh
0.5/3
"Resulta un poco lamentable ver a dos figuras con sendos Oscar bajo el brazo como son Billy Bob Thornton y Susan Sarandon metidos en este berenjenal."
Off-Off-Critica
MalaBesta
1.5/4
"The few and far between chuckles and an amusing performance from Amy Poehler only keep it from being a painfully unfunny experience."
Mark Reviews Movies
Mark Dujsik
0.5/4
"A terrible, sophomoric joke of a title, which is sadly reflective of the rest of the equally unfunny proceedings."
Mr. Brown's Movies
Michael Dequina
2/5
"All
Mr. Woodcock
gives us is mediocre comedy at its finest."
Film Threat
Michael Ferraro
1.5/4
"If I could, I'd make this clunker drop and give me twenty push-ups for screwing a great idea up this badly."
Aisle Seat
Mike McGranaghan
D
"Instead of ending, it all just gives up with a sort of "never mind" ending that even Mr. Woodcock would have to call a foul on. Indeed, that is the best possible assessment of the movie as a whole."
Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies
Nell Minow
1/4
"Delivers only pitiful pratfalls and parents-having-sex jokes that are well past their sell-by date."
Slant Magazine
Nick Schager
2/5
"O longa não apenas acaba se revelando terrivelmente sem graça como também assusta por sua moral torta, condizente com a do personagem-título."
Cinema em Cena
Pablo Villaca
2.5/5
"The playful dialog provides the best laughter, while the big set pieces feel strangely muted"
Shadows on the Wall
Rich Cline
1/5
"Even the lamest comedies out there manage to wring one or two chuckles from yours truly, but this ugly, obnoxious flick couldn't even manage half a smirk."
Cinematical
Scott Weinberg
5/10
"The only redeeming aspect is that it skewers those sweat-suited sadists we all remember from gym class, but is that satisfaction really worth the price of admission?"
