MOVIE REVIEWS Aug 5, 2006
" and you'll realize that Ferrell and director Andy McKay, who collaborated on the screenplay, are going out on a limb here. Take the scene in which the family gathers around the table for dinner. The table consists entirely of junk from fast-food restaurants. Ricky says grace, in a way that indicates a sentimental and bizarre take on religion, and gives thanks for the millions he's made, with no embarrassment or indication of any impulse for charity. The aggression and heartlessness extend even... (San Francisco Chronicle)

Review: A brand-name fusion of goofing and driving Aug 4, 2006
Still, at the high points - when Ferrell and Reilly start jawboning, when Leslie Bibb slyly steals a scene as Ricky's frosty, gold- digging, two-timing wife, or when Reilly and Michael Clarke Duncan try to remove a fork from Ferrell's thigh, or whenever Cohen opens his mouth - the laughs are hard to suppress.
