Leave your thoughts about Holy Man.
| Reeling ReviewsRobin CliffordThe shallowness and lack of perspective of the story keeps everyone from delivering anything more than a mundane, mildly amusing comedy. |
| NewsweekJack KrollIt's harmless fun, but it underutilizes Murphy, who's largely reduced to doing virtuoso variations on his iconic smile. |
| Chicago ReaderLisa AlspectorGoldblum and Murphy outdo each other in their odd roles, each minimizing his tendency toward shtick and giving a convincing dramatic performance. |
| Urban CinefileUrban Cinefile CriticsShulman's script and Hereck's direction are full of the right intentions, morally and humanistically. But sadly not cinematically. |
| The A.V. ClubNathan RabinA pleasant piece of commercial filmmaking, but as a satirical comedy, it's devoid of laughs and insight. |
| VarietyLeonard KladyComplex issues of ambition and consumerism taken to televangelic levels aren't truly addressed or resolved but simply tied up in a box with the message that love conquers all. |
| Boxoffice MagazineLisa OsborneA clever script and great comic timing from the entire cast take the infomercial parody to a whole new hilarious level. |
| Boston PhoenixTom MeekHoly Man saddles its star with a leaden, melodramatic script that never allows the high jinks to get rolling at Murphy's hyperkinetic pace. |
| Apollo GuideDiane SelkirkThis film is funny, but despite its subject matter, or perhaps because of it, this is a movie without a soul. |
| L.A. WeeklyRon StringerWhat's most disturbing about this ineptly scripted, utterly implausible (and at the same time curiously likable) comedy of sin and redemption in TV's home-shopping universe is how close a committed cast and a talented director (Stephen Herek, late of Mr. Holland's Opus) come to pulling it off, to making us feel good about the 110 minutes or so we've just pissed away. |
