- 60The Hollywood ReporterStephen FarberThe Hollywood ReporterStephen FarberThe actors do what they can to supply the texture missing from the script. Vaughn and Wilson riff together with pleasing professionalism.
- 60VarietyScott FoundasVarietyScott FoundasThis big-hearted underdog comedy from director Shawn Levy is, much like its two leads, exceedingly affable and good-natured despite being undeniably long in the tooth.

- 50Austin ChronicleKimberley JonesAustin ChronicleKimberley JonesProduct placement aside, there’s an admirable, even sweet, message about fellowship and misfit pride shot through the whole script, and Vaughn is rather touching as a kind of cuddly uncle figure to his fellow interns.
