 "...gleefully aims for the bottom of the barrel... script reeks of paint-by-numbers gutlessness, cobbled together out of musty clichés..." |

 "...frequently dispatches with tradition to cater to anyone made impatient by shots more than a few seconds in length. Alternately delightful, annoying, and forgettable..." |

 "As a think piece, the film inspires legitimate curiosity and should serve as a fine introduction for anyone interested in the moral complications of technology..." |

 "...scintillating... frequently deliberately repulsive in nature, striking the necessarily unpleasant notes required to evoke a state of emotional and sexual trauma." |

 "Madea's advice is shrill but sound, a dose of fork-in-your-eye gadflyism for a me-me-me society in dire need of it." |

 "...bears witness to a single night's performance of ambitious absurdity... A refreshingly modest look at the vital nature of creative expression... doubles as one of the funniest movies of the year." |

 "Deliberately inane humor is about as subjective and acquired a taste as any, but even if the film isn't your bag, you can't deny that it doesn't front." |

 "...lacks artistry... a somewhat uniquely oddball diversion, though a tedious opening act makes it a bit of a long haul... a memorable film, if perhaps a slight one." |

 "Invokes faith and gender-based traumas only to reduce them to a redundant series of decibel-heavy scares... a prime example of a bad thing done well." |
