Chicago Sun-Times

The basic mistake in the movie isn't in the pacing, but in the storytelling. They've made the movie about its less interesting major character.

By Roger Ebert FULL REVIEW

Los Angeles Times

As a thriller it has its moments, as a romance it's sometimes touching, but as a comedy it's too often a bust.

By Kevin Thomas FULL REVIEW

TV Guide Magazine

Gotcha is a hopelessly shallow film, serving up a good deal of hokum in the ridiculous plot. It's a contrived idea to start with, and the script goes through predictable twist after twist until the inevitable conclusion.

FULL REVIEW

The New York Times

Gotcha is about as devoid of personality as it's possible for a narrative movie to be.
