- Critics' reviews
-
-
"A loose-knit, character-driven comedy that percolates with good-vibe amusement"
-
"Slight but consistently entertaining."
-
"Directing seems to suit Luke, who also does some of his best work to date on screen."
-
"In large part the film succeeds"
-
"If you want proof that Will Ferrell is the most riotously funny straight man since Jack Benny, observe the way his utter sincerity lifts this two-ton piece of whimsy into the stratosphere."
-
"A shiny shell of a movie, 'TWBS' is pretty to look at, and occasionally fun to watch. But ultimately, it's an exercise in futility - for the participants, who can do so much more, and the audience, which deserves so much better."
