Rolling Stone - Peter Travers
One of the best movies of the year and by far the most entertaining.

Film.com - John Hartl
Practically perfect in its unpretentious way, MGM's Get Shorty is the kind of smart, witty, polished entertainment that restores one's faith in the studio system.

Washington Post - Desson Thomson
In Get Shorty, director Barry Sonnenfeld's spirited adaptation of the Elmore Leonard novel, Travolta's rebirth accelerates directly into adulthood.

San Francisco Examiner - Unnamed
This movie is charming the way so few movies are anymore.

Chicago Reader - Jonathan Rosenbaum
An entertaining comedy-thriller directed with bounce (if not much nuance) by Barry Sonnenfeld.
