Movie Reviews

Los Angeles Times - 9/10 by Kevin ThomasA delicious adaptation by Susan Isaacs of her novel, directed with a light, knowing touch by Frank Perry. It’s a blithe, sparkling, sophisticated comedy-mystery laced with dark humor that couldn’t be more welcome in the current summer avalanche of teen movies. How gratifying to hear once again dialogue that crackles with wit and humor (and doesn’t even require subtitles!).
The New Yorker - 8/10 by Pauline KaelBased on screenwriter Susan Isaacs' first novel, the film is nearly undone by Frank Perry's lazy direction. Good performances from the entire cast, especially Sarandon, save the movie.
The New York Times - 8/10 by Vincent CanbyAlthough Compromising Positions is supposed to be a comedy and a mystery, the film's comedy is of such a high order that the rather ordinary question of the identity of the murderer seems to be interruptive of Mr. Perry's and Miss Isaacs' otherwise nastily funny, suburban satire. Reduced to its essentials, Compromising Positions is ''Nancy Drew and the Case of the Dissembling Dentist.''... A very entertaining film.
Chicago Reader - 6/10 by Dave KehrUnfortunately, Frank Perry's unbelievably ham-handed direction obscures most of what is craftsmanly and pleasant in Isaacs's work, pushing the material toward a smug, sloppy, heavily early-70s satire on the horrors of suburban life. A very mixed bag, but those who've missed a storytelling sense in American movies might want to have a look.
Chicago Sun-Times - 5/10 by Roger EbertIf I were simply to describe the story of Compromising Positions, it might sound like lighthearted, slightly kinky fun. But the movie has such a bitter core, such a distaste for its characters, that I ended up feeling uncomfortable in its company. I think it's supposed to be a comedy, but I felt depressed by its world of rich, neurotic, bitchy suburbanities.
Variety - 4/10 by Variety StaffA silly little whodunnit that's a mild embarrassment to all involved.
User Review - 6/10 by Kyle fNot bad, but had the potential to be much funnier.
User Review - 2/10 by Shawn WA housewife turned sleuth leads clueless police to the killer of a philandering dentist. This dark comedy about murder mysteries fails on all levels.
User Review - 2/10 by Michael WNassau police rely on bored gossipy housewife to investigate a local murder. Sarandon's character is especially frustrating, I often felt as aggravated as her husband watching this film.
User Review - 2/10 by James HA housewife turned sleuth leads clueless police to the killer of a philandering dentist. This dark comedy about murder mysteries fails on all levels.
