Matt Paris from the Chicago Tribune gave it a C- rating, stating, “Just because Tracy Morgan’s in it doesn’t mean it’s funny.” Luke Y Thompson from E! Online gave it a B+. He said, “While Smith’s self-acknowledged weakness with action sequences is still evident, his gift for profanity-laden comedy more than makes up for it.”
Owen Gleiberman at Entertainment Weekly gave it a C-. He said, it was “a barely satirical homage.” David Thomas from Filmcritic.com gave it a B-. He said, “While this mash-up doesn’t produce results on par with the best of the genres it draws on, it still provides plenty of laughs.”
Hollywood Reporter’s Michael Rechtshaffen gave it a C. He stated, “Any actual action’s an afterthought in this garrulous goof on the classic buddy-cop flick.” A.O. Scott from the New York Times gave it a C. He said, it was “hectic, desperately ingratiating.”
