Leave your thoughts about Cold Turkey.
| DVDLaserDouglas Prattat its best it is amusingly frantic and uses the cast in a number of effective characterizations |
| Creative LoafingMatt BrunsonThe script for Cold Turkey is fairly ragged, but the movie deserves credit for its willingness to wallow in the murky depths of black comedy. |
| The Film StageJared MobarakUnfortunately, none of it seems to matter to any of them after the initial shock of having their dirty laundry aired. |
| PopMattersMichael BarrettIf time has rendered it more a telling social artifact than a comedy classic, the ending remains powerful and thoughtful as a postscript to pandemonium. |
| TIME MagazineStefan KanferAn extended sitcom loaded with the kind of jokes that induce canned laughter. |
| User Reviewbobman id like to purchase this one???where??? |
| User ReviewGlen SWhy isn't this great comedy out on DVD yet??? Dick Van Dyke, Bob Newhart, Jean Stapleton, Barnard Hughes--the cast is wonderful and the writing is hysterical. |
