Frank Scheck of The Hollywood Reporter gave the film a negative review and wrote, “Aiming for but failing to achieve a Christopher Guest level of spoofery, Ron and Laura Take Back America lives up to George S. Kaufman’s quip that satire is what closes on Saturday night.” [5]
Nick Schager of The Village Voice also gave the film a negative review and wrote, “There’s only one joke here — GOP voters are bigoted, Stars and Stripes–wearing clowns — and it’s handled with the sort of blunt, bludgeoning mean-spiritedness that it slams them for peddling.” [6]
