Critics' reviews
- "Exceedingly clever and very sharp"
- "Franken's feel-good inanities make you laugh, but the insipid script in which they're embedded lacks the courage of its satiric convictions."
- "Even if you find Franken hard to bear, as I do, the movie's take on how he functions in the world is both authoritative and compelling, and the movie steadily grows in stature."
