New York Times

With songs about shoes and dogs, "Lucky Stiff" couldn't be sillier, but Mr. Marsh and especially Ms. James make it an enjoyable curiosity for fans of musical theater.

Village Voice

Lucky Stiff shoots for "zany" and lands at "attention deficit disorder," but the songs aren't bad.

Slant Magazine

Its irritatingly saccharine tone is such that it shuns grappling with certain characters' dubious and perverse behaviors.

Rated: .5/4

Film Journal International

Talented Nikki M. James is the only possible reason to see this leadenly tongue-in-cheek, whimsical musical misfire.
