Film critic Nathan Rabin heavily panned the movie, comparing it to other movies of the parody genre (particularly those by Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer, whom he described as "comic terrorists who cavalierly destroy what others create for their own ugly self-interest") and calling Schultz "intensely non-charismatic", and concluding: "Worst of all, this overlong sketch of a movie lasts an interminable 99 minutes. If any film merits being a mere 70 minutes, it’s this abomination. Hell, it merits even less than that: It never should have been made in the first place, and now lingers as an enduring embarrassment in a rancid subgenre seemingly devoid of shame. Just how bad is it? It’s beyond dreadful. It’s sub-Seltzer-Friedberg, if that’s even possible."
