ReelViews - James Berardinelli
The film is so boisterously entertaining that it's easy for the unsuspecting viewer not to realize that there's a message here.

Newsweek - David Ansen
Everyone will be tickled pink by this sleek Mike Nichols remake.

The New York Times - Elvis Mitchell
An American remake with plenty of new pizazz.
80
The New Yorker - Unnamed
Oddly, the funniest performer here is Gene Hackman, playing an aggressively straight, family-values-spouting politician. Hackman's deadpan inanity is sublimely comic.
80
Washington Post - Hal Hinson
One of the loopiest, most hysterical family-values movies ever made.
