Critics Consensus

A high-concept farce carried by Carl Reiner's deft direction and the precise timing of its leads, All of Me is a body-swap comedy worth holding onto.

Tim Pulleine

Guardian

Once the body-snare joke is under way, however, invention tends to flag and much of the ensuing humour explores the realms of fairly obvious smut -- brightly enough managed, though, if yon have a weakness for that.

The Times (UK)

At first the film is content to play the situation for raucous laughs, trading on the embarrassment of two sexes sharing the same body. But, once the parties start experiencing finer feelings, the film finally becomes too awkward for comfort.

Most of the film is about as funny as falling off a cliff while trying to solve a crossword puzzle.

An absurd fantasy comedy, based on a dumb premise.

Martin is hilarious as the man who has to cope with a suddenly split identity.

...a decidedly out-there premise that's employed to watchable yet far-from-memorable effect by filmmaker Carl Reiner...

Rated: 2.5/4

This is one of Steve Martin’s best! Maybe the best, as the hapless attorney with the spirit of a lonely rich woman trapped in his body. Lily Thomlin is perfect and the premise of the whole thing is inventive and clever. Am watching it for probably the fourth time.

A comical romp, for sure! Good principal actors are very convincing, despite the unlikely premise and plot. Too bad the movie is not available for purchase (as of 2025) in any format but Standard (4:3 ratio) DVD.

Comic perfection! I fell head over heels in love with this movie the first time I saw it over 30 years ago, and it remains one of my favorite comedies of all time. Martin and Tomlin are a comedy dream team, and it breaks my heart that they didn't make any more movies together. Martin gives a brilliant physical comedy performance that would have made Chaplin proud. He deserved an Oscar nomination! Tomlin is a national treasure and deserves to be regarded as one of the finest comic actors who ever lived. But what makes this such a rarity is the phenomenal group of supporting performers that orbit this dynamic duo. Rather than resting on the laurels of its leads, this film has rich, wonderfully funny and memorable characters surrounding them who help lift it to a whole different level of excellence. And I can't think of another movie ending that has ever left me on such a high - listening to Joe Williams' immortal version of the titular song while watching Martin and Tomlin together, you leave this movie practically floating on air. This is a definite all-timer!

Martin's physical comedy is top notch here and while the premise is a bit undercooked, the movie is undeniably charming.

The courtroom scene alone is worth the price of admission.
