“A cheerful and smart mock documentary . . . that knows enough not to take itself too seriously”

- Kenneth Turan

“The Big Tease becomes little more than a tiresome, transplanted, sports underdog plot, complete with a showdown finale (exaggerated, six-foot-tall hair-chitecture) and cornball cameos”

- Rob Blackwelder
