[5] Justin Chang of Variety called it "a wan comic effort barely elevated a few notches by Billy Bob Thornton's passive-aggressive villainy.

"[6] Stephen Farber of The Hollywood Reporter wrote: "As Mr. Woodcock demonstrates, a great premise can generate a lot of goodwill and almost overcome an uneven script.

"[7] In a 2009 interview on The Opie & Anthony Show, Scott said that he and Thornton spent time on set discussing how terrible the movie was.
