Critic Reviews

  • Leonard Klady, Variety

    Trapped in a sitcom sensibility, the film never makes the vital connection with the audience that's necessary to spawn a hit.

  • Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader

    Chevy Chase returns to the anonymous, unmemorable suburban mode that made his earlier movies profitable. And guess what? The results are anonymous and unmemorable.

  • Janet Maslin, New York Times

    In Cops and Robbersons, Chevy Chase has an unfortunate chance to prove that there's something even more unfunny than his disastrous talk show.

  • Richard Harrington, Washington Post

    Chevy Chase is lucky Cops and Robbersons isn't a sitcom. If it were, it would be canceled as pronto as his talk show was.

  • Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

    Know what this sounds like? It sounds like a screenplay.

    Quite average comedy with Chevy Chase who wannabe detective who gets a taste of the real thing while harboiled cop Jack Palance moves in to set up serveillance on Chase's new neighbour. The few chuckles almost make it worthwhile.

    A cute, easily digestible comedy.
