John Monaghan, Detroit Free Press: Kattan is still a funny guy, but with movies as stupid as Corky Romano, his future as a movie star seems sketchy at best. Read more
Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald: If you don't care for [Kattan] -- or if you have no idea who he is -- the prudent move would be to steer clear. Read more
Robert K. Elder, Chicago Tribune: Is Corky Romano worth your time and money? Fuhgeddaboutit. Read more
Susan Stark, Detroit News: Read more
Tom Maurstad, Dallas Morning News: All empty cliches and dead-on-arrival jokes. Read more
Dave Kehr, New York Times: A crushingly conventional mob comedy that also borrows more than a few pages from the Adam Sandler playbook. Read more
Kevin Maynard, Mr. Showbiz: Frankly, there wouldn't have been enough shtick here to warrant an SNL skit. Read more
John Anderson, Newsday: That the acting is abysmal ... is beside the point. No one could make this stuff work. Read more
Lisa Alspector, Chicago Reader: Unlike the pathetic protagonists of many a smart dumb comedy, Corky never becomes sympathetic, and without this fundamental irony the movie doesn't have a leg to stand on. Read more
Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times: Much too tired and mean-spirited to be funny. Read more
Atlanta Journal-Constitution: Stick with the website. Read more
Miles Beller, Los Angeles Times: With a great many contemporary comedies mistaking excess for invention and hyperactivity for dynamism, Corky Romano displays genuine heart. Read more
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly: Introduces this sissy boy of a hero and proceeds to bland out everything that's ridiculous about him. Read more
Rick Groen, Globe and Mail: [Kattan] rewards us with the usual comic ratio -- a mild chuckle or two in 90 minutes or so. Read more
Bruce Westbrook, Houston Chronicle: This isn't just bad. It's an abject failure whose lame nuttiness evokes bad dinner theater more than a major studio movie. Read more
James Berardinelli, ReelViews: 'I survived Corky' tee-shirts should be given out to everyone who stays until the end credits roll and can provide proof that they didn't take the easy way out of napping. Read more
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: The concept is exhausted, the ideas are tired, the physical gags are routine, the story is labored, the actors look like they can barely contain their doubts about the project. Read more
Bob Graham, San Francisco Chronicle: It's strictly for someone looking for a goof-off. Read more
