Critic Reviews

  • Brian Orndorf, BrianOrndorf.com

    Simply crashes upon takeoff, going nowhere in a hurry, sniffing around for pop culture overkill and domestic depression insight it never makes a genuine play to explore.

  • David Nusair, Reel Film Reviews

    Stay Tuned is a harmless little comedy...

    John Ritter and Pam Dawber take a trip through television Hell (Jeffrey Jones is the Devil) to rescue their children. It's hilarious and has several parodies of popular television programs. My favorite was the crash-test dummy testing.

    Great fun of a shamefully over-looked knocked out satire on TV. I really like the couple mouses and a robot cat cartoon scene. John Ritter's hilarious and that memories him back to his old TV series - 'Two's Company' in that movie.

    It was slightly amusing, but probably not something I would watch again.
