- 80The New York TimesStephen HoldenThe New York TimesStephen HoldenLike a giant balloon painted with Day-Glo colors, however, the whole gaudy mess wouldn't inflate without the force of Mr. Myers's comic genius. It's his baby, baby. And after three editions, it's still flying high.

- 50Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertChicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertA step or two down from the first and second, but it has some very funny moments, and maybe that is all we hope for.
- 25Christian Science MonitorDavid SterrittChristian Science MonitorDavid SterrittGoldmember comes after years of escalating vulgarity have thrown the need for caution -- and cleverness -- out of fashion.
