Critic Reviews

  • Richard Corliss, TIME Magazine

    Martin vaults to the top of the class with his brazen, precise performance. This one goes in the time capsule.

  • Variety Staff, Variety

    Patently ridiculous, but acceptable because of the charm of the characters.

  • Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

    It scores a lot of points by speculating on the ways in which a man and a woman could learn to coexist in such close quarters. Against all the odds, a certain tenderness and sweetness develops by the end of the film.

  • Janet Maslin, New York Times

    Mr. Martin's astonishing performance is the film's most conspicuous asset, but the entire cast is good.

  • Dave Kehr, Chicago Reader

    Martin has become a superb physical comic, and Tomlin brings some unexpected warmth to a cruelly written part. A manic fuzziness takes over in the last reel and spoils some of the pleasure, but it's still a sympathetic effort.

    Pretty cheesy at times, but it did make me laugh out loud at times. This is when Steve Martin actually meant something to me.

    The fourth and final collaboration between Director Carl Reiner and Steve Martin might also be their funniest, second only to "The Jerk". Martin play attorney Roger Cobb, who aspires to be made a partner in his law firm but can't give up his passions for playing jazz… More

  • Lanning :


    You know, I clearly remember enjoying this movie when I first saw it. Age, maybe, has changed my perspective. While Martin's physical comedy is second to none, this story really has not much substance, and I found myself not laughing at any of the jokes. Still, Steve… More

    Amusing rather than laugh out loud funny, this is still far better than any of Martin's efforts of recent years.
