...Like a modern-day Abbott and Costello, Robbins' droll understatement and Lawrence's manic outbursts transform even the most bizarre, seemingly unsurmountable predicaments into some memorable hilarity. - Wade Major

...[The film] shouldn't work, it couldn't work, it won't work, but, dammit, it does. I hated myself for laughing, but laugh I did, even when stifling myself so that only giggly squeaks popped from my nostrils. The movie even manages to play that familiar G-flat chord from the civics lessons: brotherly love and how close we all are under the skin. That's because Robbins and Lawrence have "it," whatever "it" is: chemistry, electricity, timing, mutual respect, complementary prescriptions, whatever. - Stephen Hunter

...A mopey scarecrow like Robbins and a tightly wound coil of troubled humanity like Lawrence would seem to go together about as well as broccoli and ice cream. Guess what? The guys find an abrasive rhythm in their opposing natures and spark a few comic bonfires, raising the ragged though funny-when-it-counts material a notch or two. - Susan Wloszczyna
