| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertNot a great, breakout comedy, but more the kind of movie that might eventually become a regular on the midnight cult circuit. |
| San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleThis is one light comedy whose seriousness, hours later, lingers in the mind. |
| MovieholeClint MorrisWill put girls off the proffession forever. An utter mess of a movie. |
