A Neil Simon comedy it isn't, although some bright one-liners shine through. [18 March 1985]
Michael O'Keefe, a likable enough presence, seems wildly miscast as
the young slugger. O'Keefe is so likable that we can't really accept him as a
heavy in this role. [29 March 1985, p.A]
A sorry comedy. [31 March 1985, p.21]
The Slugger's Wife is awful, easily the most inept mainstream Hollywood entertainment in memory. [29 March 1985, p.D19]
The Slugger's Wife isn't remotely provocative -- or even entertaining. It's an example of creative anorexia: the movie is so thin you leave the theater feeling you've watched the outtakes by mistake. [1 Apr 1985, p.87]
