Peter Bradshaw, Guardian [UK]

Robbie Collin, Daily Telegraph
More of the non sequitur jokes and shouting on which [Ferrell] has built a lucrative and long-lasting career.

Hannah McGill, The List
Hits an occasional vein of funny, but for the most part it's inescapably half-assed, largely relying for laughs on Ferrell's familiar schtick of delivering filth in deadpan tones.
