As with any kind of episodic or sketch comedy, some gags land more effectively than others, although you'll likely find a line or a beat or an image that makes you laugh from start to finish.

The road adventures they have along the way aren't funny, and once they reach the pageant, the comic payoff you're hoping for never materializes.
Neil Genzlinger, New York Times
Rotten
Where movie comedy teams once required a "straight" member - or so-called normal characters - off which to bounce stupidity or silliness, Raphael and Wilson believe total immersion in thickheadedness and failure is riot enough.
Robert Abele, Los Angeles Times
Rotten
Raphael and Wilson are impressively committed to these misadventures, but it's a shame the movie is so cruel to the characters.
Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News

Ass Backwards overcomes the obvious beats with clever, occasionally dark jokes that reveal the sharpness of its stars' writing.
