Leave your thoughts about The Lonely Guy.
| Countingdown.comLarry CarrollVery funny, early Steve Martin comedy. Has some great bits including a gag with spary-on sweat and another with cardboard stand-ups doubling as friends for lonely guys. Not Martin's funniest film, but it's up there. |
| Washington PostGary ArnoldThe film gets in trouble, as most contemporary comedies do, when it runs out of disassociated gags and casts about desperately for a story to tell; here, the lonely guy premise is dropped completely for a series of more-or-less conventional romantic misunderstandings centered on a dull Judith Ivey. |
| New York TimesJanet MaslinIt tries a little bit of everything, and winds up with an air of messy desperation. |
| The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Jay ScottWildly uneven, but funny in a bittersweet tittery sort of way in places. |
| Miami HeraldBill CosfordIf you can get past the movie's aimlessness and its visual drabness, it has its share of isolated laughs. |
| Cinema em CenaPablo VillaçaAlternando o besteirol e a comédia de situações, o filme é consistentemente engraçado e surpreendentemente sensível. Um dos melhores da carreira de Steve Martin. |
| VarietyVariety StaffMartin's trademark wacky humor is fitfully in evidence, but seems much more repressed than usual in order to fit into the relatively realistic world of single working people. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertThe Lonely Guy is the kind of movie that inspires you to distract yourself by counting the commercial products visible on the screen, and speculating about whether their manufacturers paid fees to have them worked into the movie. |
| User ReviewMatt Osteve martin and charles grodin in a semi-surrealistic and hilarious tale about newly created Lonely Guy steve martin, trying to get by in New York City with Lonely Guy Expert Charles Grodin. Pull up a chair for your ferns, and make sure your cardboard party guests have a good seat, and get ready to laugh at this hilarious feel-good/bad romantic comedy. |
| User ReviewDeadly VVastly overlooked and under-rated sad, quirky, funny little film. |
