Critic Reviews

Slate - David Edelstein

A grave screwball comedy. Its gags aren't just hilarious -- they have a weighty, plaintive soul. Read full review

L.A. Weekly - Chuck Wilson

A smooth little comedy deserving of more studio support than it got. Read full review

Boston Globe - Jay Carr

The bathroom jokes in Gun Shy wear thin.

Film.com - John Hartl

Neeson might as well have phoned this one in. Read full review

USA Today - Mike Clark

Can't stars attract better scripts than this?

New York Daily News - Jack Mathews

Blakeney's script contains more hackneyed dialogue and misfired jokes per minute than would seem possible, and the result embarrasses every actor in it. Read full review

Entertainment Weekly - Lisa Schwarzbaum

A half hour in and still, the plot, tone, and setting are incomprehensible. Read full review

Dumb, totally under the top, Liam Neeson shows he can really deliver. Oliver Platt shows he can be most annoying. Yet, the movie is what it is - amusing and worth a look.
