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

Man Friday suffers by imposing 20th Century concepts and new wisdoms onto an old classic and by having only an occasional sense of humor.

An alternate version of Robinson Crusoe which disappoints despite Richard Roundtree and Peter O'Toole.
