"In the end, 'Revenge' is sweet, and Chris Paine's outlook is positive, with a prospect of clean air and even an end of oil dependency." |

"...an unorthodox entry in the stoner comedy-fauxsploitation genre... Certainly more enjoyable if you're up to speed with your Spanish slang." |

"Just as predictable and appetizing as Jason Biggs's penis in a pie... There are still a few laughs that don't involve naked women or bodily fluids..." |
