The Hebrew Hammer Reviews
New York Daily News
Elizabeth Weitzman
The movie hits as much as it misses, with enough witty observations to ensure that somewhere, Kesselman's mother is kvelling.
Dallas Morning News
Matt Weitz
An insubstantial but highly entertaining flick.
New York Post
Megan Lehmann
A hit-and-miss affair.
Orlando Sentinel
Roger Moore
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.
New York Times
A.O. Scott
Would have worked brilliantly as a five-minute late-night comedy sketch.
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Thomas
Unfunny rather than outrageous as intended.
Newsday
Gene Seymour
You may not always laugh at it. But you can't help indulging its junior-high jitters.
Orlando Weekly
Steve Schneider
Everybody needs a little burlesque fun with his digital reprogramming, and the politically incorrect good times barely let up in this story.
St. Paul Pioneer Press
Chris Hewitt
A scattershot assortment of jokes that is funniest when it sticks to its neat premise.
E! Online
E! Staff
Doesn't quite nail it, but it's not as bad as it sounds, either.
TheMovieChicks.com
Cherryl Dawson and Leigh Ann Palone
The movie starts out hilarious but like The Hammer's Jewish mother, it starts to nag at you after awhile.
Washington Post
Mark Jenkins
Desperation is the project's principal quality.
Variety
David Rooney
Kesselman's thin script generally is funniest when it's riffing on Jewish stereotypes and goyish bigotry.
Hollywood Reporter
Michael Rechtshaffen
A crass, sophomoric and, more to the point, offensively unfunny parody.
Village Voice
J. Hoberman
The result is explicit, if less than hilarious.
eFilmCritic.com
Scott Weinberg
One of the biggest joys here is the conversion of Adam Goldberg from 'colorful backup' to 'comic action hero', and while The Hebrew Hammer may not vault the actor into leading man status, he easily carries the entire movie.
TV Guide
Maitland McDonagh
Uneven, profane and occasionally flat-out hilarious.
Filmcritic.com
Chris Barsanti
plays like a lower (much, much lower) budgeted, Jewish version of Malcolm Lee's funnier Undercover Brother
L.A. Weekly
Robert Abele
The corker-to-groaner ratio heavily favors the latter as the bagel-and-dreidel jokes begin to lose their spark, as does the story.
Boxoffice Magazine
Annlee Ellingson
Even a gentile can appreciate the witty wordplay and visual puns flying off the screen at a mile a minute.
