Reviews on Rotten Tomatoes:
"Kevin James keeps falling on his face and colliding with heavy objects, this time in Vegas, in this tacky, numbingly inane sequel," critiqued Justin Chang of Variety.
"James tries hard, very hard, to inject the proceedings with slapstick humor, propelling his large body through endless physical contortions in a fruitless effort for laughs," critiqued Frank Sheck of Hollywood Reporter.
"More slapstick humor; strongest appeal for Kevin James fans," wrote S. Jhoanna Robledo of Common Sense Media.
"It's like Die Hard if Bruce Willis was overweight, socially inept, clumsy, and kind of dimwitted," wrote Willie Waffle of Waffle Movies.
"Your enjoyment (or not) of the material will depend solely on whether you find James' portrayal of this character entertaining," wrote Jim Judy.
