Matt Dillon and Andrew McCarthy are engaging, but David Stevens’ overly conventional direction lacks the style to bring freshness and punch to Spencer Eastman’s complicated and drawn-out script.
This movie has a screenplay written and filmed by people who must think nobody in the audience has ever seen a movie before.
For a film so exhaustively loaded with silliness, Kansas is remarkably dull. [23 Sep 1988, p.C17]
McCarthy wanders around this movie like he's lost. You'll suffer the same fate in Kansas. [23 Sep 1988, p.E5]
An uneven blend of crime thriller and rural romance, this aims for an adult complexity but misses the target by a mile.
In a film which can't seem to decide whether it's comedy or drama, folksy or sinister, every scene is played for ambivalence. The result is a definite maybe. [23 Sep 1988, p.L]
Because the screenplay is more concerned with its formula plot than with character development, neither McCarthy nor Dillon offer any real insights into this theme.
