It's a bouncy, occasionally awkward diversion with sharply written characters and good actors.
By Edward Guthmann FULL REVIEW

A bright, snappy culture-clash farce in the mode of "Desperately Seeking Susan" and its ilk, Kiss Me, Guido plays gay and Italian-American stereotypes against one another to good-natured, crowd-pleasing results.
By Dennis Harvey FULL REVIEW

Manages to have playful comic ingenuity of its own.
By Janet Maslin FULL REVIEW

Clumsy and amateurish. But it's also occasionally quite charming, and ultimately more commendable for what it ISN'T than worthy of censure for being nothing more than an inconsequential comedy.
By Ken Fox FULL REVIEW

A movie with a lot of funny one-liners, but no place to go with them.
By Roger Ebert FULL REVIEW

If spelling out stereotypes were inherently funny the movie would be a hoot.
By Lisa Alspector FULL REVIEW

That crack in Vitale's storytelling foundation would be forgivable if the writing, acting and character epiphanies . . . well, existed. As it is, not even Scotti's formidable lips can blow life into this stillborn flick.
