Critical reception

From Christie Ko of ScreenCrave:

Marilyn Manson wanted to shoot something with Mr. Dupieux and this is what came out. It’s funny, disturbing, and unabashedly wrong.[3]

From Alex Koehne of Twitch:

Wrong Cops certainly has a sense of humor that isn't for anyone. If you like the exploitation films of the 70's and 80's, the abstract ridiculousness of Tim and Eric and Monty Python, the violence of grind-house cinema and the homespun stylings of web series and Funny or Die sketches, then you are primed and ready to love Wrong Cops. If Family Circus is your favorite comic, then you should steer clear.[4]

From Scott Menzel of We Live Film did not care for the film:

I can only hope that Wrong Cops isn’t what is next to come from the director and is simply a speed bump in his career. This is probably one of the most painfully unfunny and longest 45 minutes that I have ever had to sit through in quite sometime. It is without a doubt the worst film that I saw at Sundance 2013.[5]
