USA Today
The snappy sci-fi hoot Men in Black...is a kind of "Independence Day" for smart people.

Slate
The smartest, funniest, and best-looking sci-fi comedy since the movies learned to morph.

The script by Ed Solomon is tight, well-paced and lighthearted. If this were a musical, Fred Astaire could have played the Jones role, although somewhat more dashingly.

Chicago Reader
Don't expect any psychological depth here, but the cool wit and fun... are deftly maintained, and Sonnenfeld provides a bountiful supply of both fanciful beasties and ingenious visuals.

Rolling Stone
Sonnenfeld deftly orchestrates the intricate two-part harmony, and Smith and Jones -- a powerhouse comic pair -- make it all look easy.
