B   Chicago Sun-Times Roger Ebert "Reilly is required to walk a tightrope; is he suffering or kidding suffering, or kidding suffering about suffering? That we're not sure adds to the appeal." more... B   Chicago Tribune Michael Phillips "Music strikes a chord, but story trips up..." more... B- E! Online Chris Farnsworth "It's tough to parody a genre so oblivious to its own clichés, but Apatow and director Jake Kasdan pull it off." more... A   Entertainment Weekly Owen Gleiberman "...walks the line of surreal vulgarity..." more... B   filmcritic.com Bill Gibron "...uproarious..." more... B+ Hollywood Reporter Michael Rechtshaffen "...a pitch-perfect musical comedy..." more...

B- Rolling Stone Peter Travers "The primo stuff comes to the rescue just as the movie wears out its welcome." more... B- San Francisco Chronicle Mick LaSalle "...100 minutes of fun, and for pure, uncomplicated enjoyment, it's the movie to see right now." more... B+ Seattle Post-Intelligencer William Arnold "...the hilarity mostly holds up." more... B   USA Today Claudia Puig "This rowdy spoof of music biopics is silly fun and often hilarious." more...
