Reviews for Hebrew Hammer
Corny and crude at times, but effective in its single-minded pursuit of laughs.

Profane, shockingly un-PC and often laugh-out-loud hilarious, this is the sort of parody that the folks who made the Airplane and Naked Gun movies used to make -- funny.

Top CriticEverybody needs a little burlesque fun with his digital reprogramming, and the politically incorrect good times barely let up in this story.
04/09/04
A scattershot assortment of jokes that is funniest when it sticks to its neat premise.
04/08/04
Kesselman keeps the movie crackling with the raucous energy absent since Mel Brooks' heyday.

Top CriticDesperation is the project's principal quality.

Top CriticThe movie starts out hilarious but like The Hammer's Jewish mother, it starts to nag at you after awhile.
01/09/04
The movie hits as much as it misses, with enough witty observations to ensure that somewhere, Kesselman's mother is kvelling.

Top CriticKesselman's thin script generally is funniest when it's riffing on Jewish stereotypes and goyish bigotry.
12/23/03
Top CriticAn insubstantial but highly entertaining flick.
12/20/03
Top CriticA crass, sophomoric and, more to the point, offensively unfunny parody.
12/19/03
Top CriticDoesn't quite nail it, but it's not as bad as it sounds, either.
12/19/03
Uneven, profane and occasionally flat-out hilarious.
12/19/03
A hit-and-miss affair.

Top Criticplays like a lower (much, much lower) budgeted, Jewish version of Malcolm Lee’s funnier Undercover Brother
12/19/03
Would have worked brilliantly as a five-minute late-night comedy sketch.
12/18/03
Top CriticUnfunny rather than outrageous as intended.
