At the time of release, movie critics Roger Ebert and Gene Siskel said that Frozen Assets was the worst comedy ever made. It would go on to be Siskel's pick for the worst film of 1992.
Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert were known for their honest and straightforward reviews, and they did not hold back when it came to Frozen Assets. They called it "one of the dumbest comedies" they had ever seen and noted that it was as "depressing an experience" as they'd ever had going to the movies.
Ebert even goes on to say that he hopes, in the wake of traumatic experience of watching this movie, to be rewarded with months, even years, of simple, film-free happiness in a valley with honey and nectar. That is a pretty strong statement coming from one of the most respected film critics of all time.
Siskel and Ebert were both disgusted by the film's crude humor and lack of wit. "This is perhaps the worst comedy ever made," Ebert says at one point before correcting himself and revising downward. "Not even the worst comedy ever made - just the worst movie ever made."
Siskel agreed, saying that the film was "as depressing an experience as I've ever had going to the movies." He added: "That's 23 years of going to the movies professionally, maybe six, seven thousand pictures."
