Movie Reviews

Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) - 10/10 by Ken HankeIs it all of its era? Yes, most definitely. But it's also as relevant and funny and pointed as it ever was.
Film4 - 9/10 by Ali CatterallSave for some eye-popping cameos, there's nothing very magic about this dated dog's breakfast of a movie.
Variety - 7/10 by Variety StaffA spotty, uneven satire (from the novel by Terry Southern) with a number of good yocks, but insufficient sustained wit or related action.
Filmcritic.com - 6/10 by Christopher NullIt's too long and too silly ("Very silly indeed!") to work in the long run, so feel free to start and stop it at will -- you won't miss a thing.
Film Comment Magazine - 6/10 by Violet LuccaJoseph McGrath's movie version remains an acerbic, late-Sixties dark comedy classic.
User Review - 10/10 by Nate TTo say that this film is strange would be to say the least of it. However as a free-for-all film with Ringo Starr, Peter Sellers, Roman Polanski amongst others starring in it, it works wonderfully. Don't try to make sense of it. Just enjoy the barrage of jokes and stars and you'll be fine. On Blu-ray.
User Review - 10/10 by James ZThe Magic Christian is a bizarre reflection of reality, and what we think of as normalcy in terms of our condition, then and now. It may seem outrageous and vulgar and surprising, and the film shocked many who saw it, and many walked out on it or thought it was just too absurd to be enjoyed for what it is: a social commentary on the social, political, and economic inequality of this world, and how money is truly the root of all evil, and that our morals and ethics are totally decayed by this artificial and intangible thing. It is at once bizarre and entertaining, full of cameos like Yul Brenner, Raquel Welch, Roman Polanski, John Cleese, Richard Attenborough, Graham Chapman, and Christopher Lee. Of course, Peter Sellers and Ringo Star are the stars of the film. It's a shame that this movie was not well received as what it is: a social commentary and critique of the modern world.
User Review - 10/10 by Sam LDry, slow moving, but brilliant. If you like Peter Sellers you will not be disappointed, but don't expect his best work. If only more strange rich people used their cash to bring confusing jokes upon the fuckers whom deserve it.
User Review - 10/10 by Natali A?? ?????? ??? ???????? ????? - ? ??????? ???????????? - ?? ??-???????? ????????!!!
User Review - 10/10 by Julia SStrange antics and odd humor- it couldn't be better!
