Critics are divided on this star-driven adaptation, with many finding it tonally confused and unable to justify its existence beyond the film. While some praise Bernthal's performance and Guirgis's New York voices, most fault the uneven mix of comedy and drama.
Critics hail Cole Escola's irreverent Mary Todd Lincoln farce as hilariously stupid in the best way, delivering near-constant laughs through campy absurdity and vulgar wit, though a few find it too silly and choppy to fully satisfy.
