Critics consensus

“This is an insult to its genre with low humor and cheap gags.”

RTSight & SoundJun 18, 2012

A witless and utterly predictable comic fantasy about a misfit turned hero.

Really dumb, but many teens love it anyway.

RTGone With The TwinsSep 25, 2020

This juvenile, unnecessary, and utterly pathetic madness can barely be considered a comedy; the jokes are so immature and flat that it more closely resembles a tragedy.
