 "The jokes are telegraphed so far in advance they must have been lost in the mail."
-- Jeffrey M. Anderson, SAN FRANCISCO EXAMINER
"Perry's good and his is an interesting character, but "Serving Sara" hasn't much more to serve than silly fluff. Nor is it a romantic comedy."
-- Ross Anthony, HOLLYWOOD REPORT CARD
"... Hudlin is stuck trying to light a fire with soggy leaves."
-- Sean Axmaker, SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER
"...plot holes so large and obvious a marching band might as well be stomping through them in clown clothes, playing a college football fight song on untuned instruments."
-- Rob Blackwelder, SPLICEDWIRE
"While Serving Sara does have a long way to go before it reaches the level of crudity in the latest Austin Powers extravaganza, there's nothing here to match that movie's intermittent moments of inspiration."
-- Jay Boyar, ORLANDO SENTINEL
"“One look at a girl in tight pants and big tits and you turn stupid?” Um…..isn’t that the basis for the entire plot?"
-- Erik Childress, EFILMCRITIC.COM
"[A] poorly executed comedy."
-- Tim Cogshell, BOXOFFICE MAGAZINE
"Ever see one of those comedies that just seem like a bad idea from frame one?"
-- David Cornelius, AMAZING COLOSSAL WEBSITE
"Nothing about the film -- with the possible exception of Elizabeth Hurley's breasts -- is authentic."
-- Curtis Edmonds, TXREVIEWS.COM
"We haven't seen such hilarity since Say It Isn't So!"
-- Michael Elliott, MOVIE PARABLES
"A string of rehashed sight gags based in insipid vulgarity."
-- Cynthia Fuchs, POPMATTERS
"There are many definitions of 'time waster' but this movie must surely be one of them."
-- Susan Granger, WWW.SUSANGRANGER.COM
"With the exception of some fleetingly amusing improvisations by Cedric the Entertainer as Perry's boss, there isn't a redeeming moment here."
-- Chris Hewitt, ST. PAUL PIONEER PRESS

"It's a glorified sitcom, and a long, unfunny one at that."
-- Philip Booth, ORLANDO WEEKLY
"The picture, scored by a perversely cheerful Marcus Miller accordion/harmonica/banjo abomination, is a monument to bad in all its florid variety."
-- Walter Chaw, FILM FREAK CENTRAL
"Helmer Hudlin tries to make a hip comedy, but his dependence on slapstick defeats the possibility of creating a more darkly edged tome."
-- Robin Clifford, REELING REVIEWS
"If you're looking for comedy to be served up, better look elsewhere."
-- Linda Cook, QUAD CITY TIMES (DAVENPORT, IA)
"Serving Sara doesn't serve up a whole lot of laughs."
-- Cherryl Dawson and Leigh Ann Palone, THEMOVIECHICKS.COM
"Serving Sara should be served an eviction notice at every theater stuck with it."
-- David Elliott, SAN DIEGO UNION-TRIBUNE
"Though Perry and Hurley make inspiring efforts to breathe life into the disjointed, haphazard script by Jay Scherick and David Ronn, neither the actors nor director Reginald Hudlin can make it more than fitfully entertaining."
-- Marshall Fine, JOURNAL NEWS
"When Perry fists a bull at the Moore Farm, it's only a matter of time before he gets the upper hand in matters of the heart."
-- Ed Gonzalez, SLANT MAGAZINE
"Scarcely worth a mention apart from reporting on the number of tumbleweeds blowing through the empty theatres graced with its company."
-- Ken Hanke, MOUNTAIN XPRESS (ASHEVILLE, NC)
"Skip this turd and pick your nose instead because you're sure to get more out of the latter experience."
-- JoBlo, JOBLO'S MOVIE EMPORIUM

"Sometimes it feels as if it might have been made in the '70s or '80s, and starred Chevy Chase and Goldie Hawn."
-- John Anderson, NEWSDAY
"Filmmakers have to dig deep to sink this low. Fortunately for all involved, this movie is likely to disappear as quickly as an ice cube thrown into a pot of boiling water."
-- James Berardinelli, JAMES BERARDINELLI'S REELVIEWS
"How inept is Serving Sara? It makes even Elizabeth Hurley seem graceless and ugly."
-- Ty Burr, BOSTON GLOBE
"Unfunny and lacking any sense of commitment to or affection for its characters, the Reginald Hudlin comedy relies on toilet humor, ethnic slurs."
-- Manohla Dargis, LOS ANGELES TIMES
"Stars Matthew Perry and Elizabeth Hurley illicit more than a chuckle, and more jokes land than crash, but ultimately Serving Sara doesn't distinguish itself from the herd."
-- Robert K. Elder, CHICAGO TRIBUNE
"With the dog days of August upon us, think of this dog of a movie as the cinematic equivalent of high humidity."
-- Stephen Holden, NEW YORK TIMES
"A broadly played, lowbrow comedy in which the cast delivers mildly amusing performances and no farm animals were injured by any of the gags."
-- Kirk Honeycutt, HOLLYWOOD REPORTER
"[Hell is] looking down at your watch and realizing Serving Sara isn't even halfway through."
-- Desson Howe, WASHINGTON POST
 "Surprisingly amusing."
-- Stephen Hunter, WASHINGTON POST
"Serving Sara is little more than a mall movie designed to kill time."
-- Robert Koehler, VARIETY

"A road trip that will get you thinking, 'Are we there yet?'"
