Leave your thoughts about My Blue Heaven.
| Chicago Sun-TimesErnest TuckerThe movie itself, with the exception of a few scenes, doesn't really have the wit it's aiming for, and among Steve Martin vehicles it's middle-drawer, at best. Yet that mood of silly exuberance reigns through most of the picture. |
| Kansas City KansanSteve CrumUnique comedy with Steve Martin in great form. |
| BrianOrndorf.comBrian OrndorfIt's hideously unfunny, falling well beneath the capabilities of everyone involved...Ross isn't building a comedy here, he's trying to survive one. |
| Chicago ReaderJonathan RosenbaumScript and direction are both fairly slapdash, but the actors and the overall sweetness keep this chugging along on some level . |
| The New York TimesCaryn JamesIt is apparent that through most of My Blue Heaven, Steve Martin's talent is tossed away on this sketchy outline of a howlingly funny idea. |
| Boston GlobeMatthew GilbertMy Blue Heaven puts you in a stupor comparable to the one that comes on after Thanksgiving turkey. Written by Nora Ephron, it makes you long for the awful "Heartburn." |
| User ReviewAvidan Abest movie ever! that's my philisophy, it's so hot it could melt ALL THIS STUFF! It just needs to get rid of those army shoes and pick up some 'spectator pumps'. |
| User ReviewVeronica MThis is the funniest movie ever. I love how Steve Martin dances in this movie! |
| User ReviewStephanie ATechnically brilliant, I quote this movie in my film classes. Steve Martin and Rick Moranis are brilliant together. |
| User ReviewBron BPerfect! I've seen it well over 100 times. Always puts me in a great mood. It's Disney meets Goodfellas. |
