Critics Consensus

Tusk is pleasantly ridiculous and charmingly self-deprecating, but that isn't enough to compensate for its thin, overstretched story.

'Tusk' opens with the sound of two men laughing at their own jokes, so I guess a doff of the cap is due to the filmmaker for encapsulating his movie so efficiently, right from the jump.

Justin Long and Johnny Depp join the "Clerks" director for a weird, unpredictable movie that still feels like only Smith could have made it.

2.5/5

Parts of it are funny, parts are suspenseful and parts of it - to put it mildly - are hideously awful. Horrible may be a better word than horrific.

For me, the Johnny Depp cameo ruined this film. I was really into it until he showed up and took the story in such a different direction that it couldn't recover..

1/5

It had a lot of promise, particularly in the first act, but it quickly goes off the rails. Lots of rambling coupled with inconsistent performances made this a chore to get through.

...You could save a lot of time by just fast forwarding to the scene where Wallace meets Howard, and the scene with the transformation reveal. Everything else is unfunny blubber.

It’s like The Human Centipede had a goofy cousin who failed biology and obsessed over Fleetwood Mac. It’s not funny, scary or entertaining. It’s just gross & a very terrible ending.

Tusk made me want to rip my eyes out but in a good way. It’s bizarre, absurd, and worth a watch at least once.
