Critic Reviews

Philip Wuntch, Dallas Morning News
Some will find Siam Sunset too resolute in its quirkiness, but the movie offers an enjoyable ride.
-
Ray Conlogue, Globe and Mail
This isn't a terrible film, just an uneven one.
-
Burl Burlingame, Honolulu Star-Advertiser
Many of the jokes are big production numbers that appear out of nowhere, and some are appallingly cruel in a brawny, slap-your-back kind of way.
-
Frank Swietek, One Guy's Opinion
The failure to blend very disparate elements satisfactorily marks the movie...Parts have an oddball charm, but too much of it is either flat or unappetizing.
-
Cherryl Dawson and Leigh Ann Palone, TheMovieChicks.com
Color me amused and delighted.
