Critic Reviews
-
Variety Staff, Variety
Paul Mazursky's 14th film as director is a cozy, insular middle-aged marital comedy that's about as deep and rewarding as a day of mall-cruising.
-
Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader
Mazursky has returned with a vengeance to his special universe where the upper middle class is the only thing that exists, and this time he has absolutely nothing to say about it.
-
Wally Hammond, Time Out
Allen's admittedly funny lines get lost in the mess, and Midler, in relatively restrained mode, fades away altogether.
-
Vincent Canby, New York Times
Scenes From a Mall is a peculiar but, finally, very engaging comedy.
-
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
When a movie seems overflowing with interesting, colorful details, that is often a sign of desperation -- a way of saying, if the picture's no good, get a gaudier frame.
