Vincent Canby New York Times May 20, 2003

Chock-full of hilarious performances. Go to Full Review Jane Horwitz Washington Post Jan 1, 2000

2.5/4
Tucci's go-for-broke presence alone justifies the picture's very existence. Go to Full Review Quentin Curtis Independent on Sunday Dec 7, 2017
Quaid is overshadowed by his wife, Meg Ryan, and Turner (ungallant to say) is fading fast. Go to Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Jun 20, 2005

Samuel P @TheFabulousWatcher Jul 20, 2026 Such an excellent and entertaining movie! See more Sassy R @Sassydale Feb 27, 2026 We totally enjoyed the movie. Yes it was goofy, but what fun. In fact, i think that we will watch it tonight! See more Joy B. @9mr_0 Jan 5, 2026 فلم متوسط. قصة سطحية و سرد سريع تطور الشخصيات الرئيسية كان ضعيف مع تمثيل مستفز في المقابل كانت الشخصيات الثانوية مثل دور الشرير وشخصية “مورتي” اللاتينية، بحضور أقوى وأكثر إقناعاً. الكوميديا الحركية كانت أكثر إضحاكاً من الحوارات التي كانت سطحية ومكررة. الابتسامة المستمرة على وجوه الشخصيات بغض النظر عن الموقف كانت مستفزة . الموسيقى كانت ملائمة في بعض المشاهد وفي بعض المشاهد كانت مزعجة . See more Steve D @RT35616104 Sep 13, 2023 Nowhere near as amusing as it should be. See more May 15, 2022 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. See more Feb 21, 2021 So funny. I've seen it over and over. Just watched it last week. See more Read all reviews
