Mr. Higgins's penchant for mixing visual elegance with coarse gags is equally ill-advised, especially because it makes him work the gags so hard.
Janet Maslin, New York Times

Director Colin Higgins plays foul with the audience, constructing some of the most dishonest suspense sequences ever filmed.
Dave Kehr, Chicago Reader

Unsatisfactory as a whole, the film is hilarious and tense in bits.
