Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times The movie talks itself out, trying to resolve its situation with words and yet never finding a dramatic way to handle it. Rated: 2/4 Oct 23, 2004 Full Review Ruth Batchelor Los Angeles Free Press Robinson Crusoe has been done to death, and much better. Nov 21, 2019 Full Review Bernard Drew Gannett News Service Man Friday suffers by imposing 20th Century concepts and new wisdoms onto an old classic and by having only an occasional sense of humor. Jul 16, 2019 Full Review Steve Crum Video-Reviewmaster.com Mediocre Robinson Crusoe-like tale starring O'Toole. Rated: 3/5 Nov 1, 2008 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 2/5 Jul 24, 2005 Full Review Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat Spirituality & Practice A fascinating screen interpretation of Daniel Defoe's classic story about the survival attempts of two men from very different cultures Jan 18, 2004 Full Review Read all reviews
