The Pest Ratings & Reviews
House Next Door
Simon Abrams
It pains me to admit just how obnoxious The Pest is because it has all the ingredients of the kind of guilty pleasure I love.
AV Club
Keith Phipps
It seems to be targeted at eight-year-old boys with attention-deficit disorder, and could have been more competently made by any one of them.
TV Guide
Ken Fox
Even surrounded by unbearable sloppiness, Leguizamo is fascinating to watch.
Variety
Joe Leydon
Pic exists solely to showcase Leguizamo's wild and crazy antics, which are very much an acquired taste.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
Pass that can of Black Flag, hon.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
When Mr. Leguizamo isn't doing third-rate ethnic parody, he is wallowing in scatological jokes that are so poorly prepared and executed that they make similar antics by Mr. Carrey play like classic routines.
New Times
Luke Y. Thompson
If you have any doubt that John Leguizamo is not funny, this movie will handily reinforce that notion.
Boxoffice Magazine
Dwayne E. Leslie
The script and Leguizamo's talents don't mesh, so the actor comes off as more offensive than funny.
Film Scouts
Leslie Rigoulot
There is not a socioeconomic, political, ethnic or gender group that is left unoffended.
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Thomas
Talented and versatile actor-comedian John Leguizamo indulges himself so totally with incessant mugging, mimicking and all-around showing off that he begins to wear out his welcome before the opening credit sequence is over.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
Obviously, someone must have told Leguizamo he's a comic genius. Whoever did that isn't his friend.
Houston Chronicle
Jeff Millar
This film is utterly without discipline or focus in a way that -- to one's shame --one eventually finds oddly endearing.
E! Online
Essentially a collection of ethnic and bodily function jokes punctuated by chases.
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
It's the kind of movie where every paying customer deserves to receive a handwritten apology from the producers.
Deseret News (Salt Lake City)
Jeff Vice
Quick, someone find a no-pest strip - or even a fly swatter or a good bug spray.
