There's just about enough charm and laughs here to keep Farrelly fans happy. Even the fat ones.

In delivering their message, the Farrelly Brothers seem to have compromised their nothing-is-sacred comedy spirit, but at least their hearts are in the right place.

When the final act descends into preachiness, it's nearly earned the indulgence.

The Farrellys take an artistic step backward with this soft, disappointingly sentimental comedy about the true nature of beauty; they seem to have forgotten their roots in the outrageous and gross-out.

The film itself is little more than a series of fat jokes.

Romantic comedy is pretty tame for Farrelly Bros.

Not only light on laughs but discomfitingly didactic in its disgust.

The film is not as funny as their best, but fascinates in the discomforting way it foregrounds the brothers' normally buried, facile moral dialectic.

[An] insulting new comedy from Bobby and Peter Farrelly.

We've seen so many crummy comedies that try to be There's Something About Mary or something like this. And the Farrelly brothers come to the rescue and show us how it's done.

Makes the case for restricting the Farrellys to mere gross-out movies.

With the relatively untested Black coming on awfully strong, the lack of directorial finesse lets the enterprise down, creating some clunky scenes and dead air where laughs might have been expected.
