One of the most interesting, one of the most rewarding and one of the funniest films of the year. [4 July 1986]
By Jay Scott FULL REVIEW
90
Zwick gets the most out of his young cast, and you do believe that Lowe and Moore are drawn to each other against all good sense. Lowe offers the first sympathetic performance of his career. And Moore, her voice husky as burnt sugar, is sure to succeed Debra Winger as our fresh-scrubbed sex symbol. And to think that only last year, they were shallow brat-packers in "St. Elmo's Fire." [4 July 1986, p.N29]

This is the movie "St. Elmo's Fire" wanted to be and missed by a mile.

Sex and swearing from David Mamet: the family guy. Fun for grown-ups only.
By William Thomas FULL REVIEW

Moore's Debbie is earnest but uninteresting, which is a problem when she is playing half of the movie's focal couple. [2 July 1986, p.D10]
FULL REVIEW

As the envious, destructive best friends of the central couple, Jim Belushi and (especially) Elizabeth Perkins have the actor's know-how to fill in the gaps, but as the lovers, Rob Lowe and Demi Moore are hopelessly pallid.
By Dave Kehr FULL REVIEW
40
The screenwriters retain much of Mamet's dialogue, but they piece it out, and the director punches up the breaks between scenes with rock music. It's like being pounded on the back every two minutes when your back is already sore (because the dialogue has been whacking you so hard).
By Pauline Kael FULL REVIEW
