Critic Reviews

Variety - Lael Lowenstein

An engaging, often very funny fish-out-of-water story that provides Hugh Grant with his best part to date. Read full review

New York Post - Rod Dreher

An enjoyable minor-league lark. But another "Notting Hill?" Fuhgeddaboutit. Read full review

Village Voice - Jessica Winter

The last half hour bogs down badly, with a cynical fake-out ending and a final scene that borders on non-sensical. Read full review

Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert

After the bite and freshness of "Analyze This," Mickey Blue Eyes plays like an afterthought. Read full review

Los Angeles Times - Kenneth Turan

With preposterously convoluted plot twists, not even Grant is enough to make us smile all the way through the end.

Portland Oregonian - Shawn Levy

A lifeless, confused mess, peppered with laughs, yes, but illogically and crudely plotted and smothered in tonedeaf music cues. Read full review

Film.com - Sean Means

Atrocious comedy. Read full review

This movie, despite some funny lines and situations, sinks faster than the Titanic. Not even the presence of such normally reliable actors, such as Hugh Grant, James Caan, and Burt Young, can save this contrived mess.
