| Chicago TribuneMichael WilmingtonThe beginning of Steve Martin's non-funny comedies. Ephron should know better as well. |
| VarietyVariety StaffDirector/co-scripter Nora Ephron pitches the humor at a cacophonous level and displays the comedic equivalent of two left feet in evolving an absurdist, slapstick yarn. |
| Esquire MagazinePaul SchrodtEven for a Christmas comedy, it's blasphemous -- delightfully so. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertMaybe there's too much talent. Every character shines with such dazzling intensity and such inexhaustible comic invention that the movie becomes tiresome, like too many clowns. |
| Boston GlobeJay CarrMixed Nuts is a relentlessly hectic, poorly structured farce that falls embarrassingly flat. All the comedy here comes at the expense of the characters, reflecting a pronounced cruel streak in Ephron's work for the screen. |
| Empire MagazineLouise BrealeyThe beginning of Steve Martin's non-funny comedies. Ephron should know better as well. |
| Austin ChronicleHollis ChaconaThe dialogue is so bad that it's hard to believe anyone would even want to try to deliver it. |

| Film FrenzyMatt BrunsonEven fans of Nora Ephron knew well enough to stay home and roast chestnuts on an open fire instead. |
| Time OutDerek AdamsEphron's timing and sensitivity have deserted her, leaving behind only the sentimentality. |
