| NewsweekDavid AnsenAnother mindless exercise in unexciting, unmotivated action sequences punctuated by moments of stupid, redneck, good-ol'-boy humor. |
| New York TimesJanet MaslinThis time, Mr. Reynolds has made a movie to please fans of all persuasions, and to please them a great deal. |
| Washington PostGary ArnoldHis witty, endearing performance in the title role of Hal Needham's terrific new pick-me-up, Hooper, a rousing and sweet-tempered sentimental comedy about the professional vicissitudes and fellowship of movie stuntmen, should finally secure Reynolds a preeminent position in the affections of contemporary moviegoers. |
