LA Weekly Hazel-Dawn Dumpert
It's Boyar whos the find here, though, a gently magnetic presence who's all the more impressive for being thoroughly riveting despite spending most of the movie face-down on a counter.
Read Full Review >New York Post Lou Lumenick
The performances are solid, but as a screenwriter, Guttenberg can't make the situation seem like more than a theatrical construct in a contemporary setting.
Read Full Review >Village Voice Elliott Stein
Intermittently engaging and moving, P.S. has gathered a bit of dust over the years. Still, it's nicely acted by the small cast.
Read Full Review >Portland Oregonian Kim Morgan
If the movie wasn't about an actor but instead about an insurance salesman or a plumber who looked like James Gandolfini, it might come off better. But then, who says a plumber would care either?
Read Full Review >The New York Times Dave Kehr
Mr. Guttenberg's direction of "Cat," is competent and unadorned, bringing out whatever qualities the text possesses -- mainly good-naturedness.
Read Full Review >Variety Dennis Harvey
Lacking the knockout lead perfs or more whimsical tone that might have transcended script's dubious logic, pic comes off as a so-so theatrical stunt delivered via the wrong medium.
Read Full Review >Los Angeles Times Kevin Thomas
Despite strong portrayals by Guttenberg and his co-star, Lombardo Boyar, and sequences that attempt to open the play up, it remains too much a filmed play, and worse, one that has not been effectively paced. As a result, it doesn't come alive until it's drawing to a close that's unexpectedly touching, if more than a little sentimental, but too late to redeem the preceding tedium.
Read Full Review >New York Daily News Jack Mathews
Doesn't play on the screen. P.S. Your Cat is Dead is a stage-locked, two-character play on a static set, and though Guttenberg takes it outside for a couple of scenes, it remains that on film.
Read Full Review >TV Guide Maitland McDonagh
Boyar's best efforts -- which are quite good -- can't begin to compensate for Guttenberg's grotesque excesses or make the weirdly warm relationship that develops between them convincing, let alone appealing.
Read Full Review >The Onion (A.V. Club) Noel Murray
Guttenberg adapts James Kirkwood Jr.'s humanist black comedy -- and drains all the recognizable humanity out of it, turning it into a morose, unlikable reflection of its sad-sack lead character.

Greg T. gave it a 7:
Not bad. Guttenberg is much more talented than he is given credit for.
Nancy gave it a 3:
Guttenberg is very dry, if Mel Gibson or Billy Crystal were cast in his place, they could have brought this story to life.
Bill D. gave it a 6:
James kirkwood was a great novelist as well as playwright and he will be deeply missed.
