Stupid, irreverent, childish and at times very funny, Say It Isn't So has plenty of Farrelly Brothers trademarks, but runs out of puff and ideas.

What we have here is a wannabe-outrageous comedy that flirts with the last taboo but then retreats.
08/18/07
A cringe-inducing flop.
02/26/07
Flat, borderline banal comedy that in theory includes all the ingredients of the Farrelly brothers (who here serve as producers) about the seemingly incestuous relationship between siblings Chris Klein and Heather Graham
12/01/06
The Farrelly brothers, Bobby and Peter, are beginning to make the same mistake that the Zucker brothers (Jerry and David, along with Jim Abrahams) made, which was to split up and take increasingly less responsibility for their films.

This movie sinks or swims on its humor, and frankly, the Farrellys don't appear to have been very good swimming instructors.

Say It Isn't So proves to be an all too apt title.
12/08/02
Avoid like your life depended on it.

If it were up to me, I would make sure the Farrellys never made another film, or at least that I never had to see another.

Credit goes largely to the charm of Ms. Graham and Mr. Klein, both of whom exude a natural, sunny innocence that contrasts starkly with the naughty incest jokes swirling around them.
10/15/02
First-time director J. B. Rogers and new screenwriters Peter Gualke and Jerry Swallow appear determined to include as many gross-out scenes as possible at the expense of telling a believable story.
08/02/02
The trash heap of "There's Something About Mary" ripoffs grows a little higher.
06/20/02
Um festival embaraçoso de caretas e gritaria.

...desperate, forced, as if the filmmakers are just trying to up the ante in how low they’re willing to go.
