Washington Post also gave the film a negative review explaining that "after plying the audience with formulaic predictability, Getting Even doesn't even have the decency to end quickly. Minutes away from sending the audience home, it chooses to fall asleep on the job." The film grossed $18.8 million in the United States and Canada and $35 million worldwide. Culkin's performance in the film earned him a Razzie Award & a Stinkers Bad Movie Award nomination for Worst Actor (also for The Pagemaster and Richie Rich).
