Leave your thoughts about Full Moon in Blue Water.
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzAn insufferable sentimental comedy that resembles too much a TV sitcom to make for good cinema. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertFull Moon in Blue Water is such a likable film in so many little ways that you want to forgive it for being so bad in so many big ones. |
| New York TimesVincent CanbyIn spite of the participation of a number of talented people, Full Moon in Blue Water is almost as immediately forgettable as its title. |
| Chicago ReaderJonathan RosenbaumFunny and appealing, this is the kind of quiet and assured Hollywood movie that used to be more common in the 50s; the local flavor is caught perfectly, and every member of the cast shines. |
| User ReviewShawn WHackman just raises this movie up to a better than average tale about these bunch of quirky lovable losers. |
