Considering the high bar Seidelman set with Smithereens and Desperately Seeking Susan, Cookie feels like an unsatisfying step back. While her first two features boasted highly original characters and freshly compelling stories, Cookie merely registers as late 80s fluff.

tries to mimic films like the godfather and scarface with a spunky female lead, but it comes off as just not good enough.

Cookie has the look and feel of a cartoon. And that, unfortunately, is why it crumbles.

Rated: 2/4

Roger Ebert

Chicago Sun-Times

It's the kind of pleasant, sometimes funny, fairly entertaining film that you can never quite remember very well, because even the filmmakers themselves haven't seen it very clearly.

Rated: 2/4

Cookie hasn't much to recommend it apart from Wiest's performance.

El Nuevo Herald (Miami)

An apathetic comedy about the mafia, inferior to similar works. [Full review in Spanish]
