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

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

|
The New York Times -
An American remake with plenty of new pizazz.
|
|
The New Yorker -
Oddly, the funniest performer here is Gene Hackman, playing an aggressively straight, family-values-spouting politician. Hackman's deadpan inanity is sublimely comic.

Washington Post -
One of the loopiest, most hysterical family-values movies ever made.
