Vincent Canby New York Times The movie has enough style to make you overlook reason and the occasionally erratic continuity. May 20, 2003 Full Review Nell Minow Movie Mom Rated: 2/5 Nov 24, 2002 Full Review Hollis Chacona Austin Chronicle Chock-full of hilarious performances. Rated: 3.5/5 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews Tucci's go-for-broke presence alone justifies the picture's very existence. Rated: 2.5/4 May 28, 2020 Full Review Quentin Curtis Independent on Sunday Quaid is overshadowed by his wife, Meg Ryan, and Turner (ungallant to say) is fading fast. Dec 7, 2017 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 2/5 Jun 20, 2005 Full Review Read all reviews

Steve D Nowhere near as amusing as it should be. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 09/13/23 Full Review Jim B My wife and I both think this is the most hilarious movie we have ever seen. Definitely campy and a bit over the top but if you like that kind of thing I think you would enjoy the ride. I am not a big movie person and rarely watch anything more than once but this one is on the short list of films I enjoy watching over and over again. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/02/23 Full Review Michael M Genuinely one of the funniest movies I've seen. And it held up great considering how old it is. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/19/23 Full Review Stephen C LOL, the funniest 01 hour: and 29 minutes ever!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/28/22 Full Review Audience Member This movie has absolutely no meaningful social significance and say nothing about the evils of our society. It's just a wonderfully funny movie that will make you laugh out loud. Everyone's performances are intentionally over the top. Tucci's Muerte is a gem of a performance. If you just want to escape from reality for an hour and a half with a lightweight feel-good movie, this is the film for you. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member So funny. I've seen it over and over. Just watched it last week. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Read all reviews
