Leave your thoughts about The Out-of-Towners.
| Juicy CerebellumAlex SandellThe whole thing feels so staged that I expected to see cue cards somewhere in the background. |
| The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Liam LaceyStrictly a middle-aged comedy, which consists of more easy lobs than sharp smacks, but manages to get the job done. |
| Kalamazoo GazetteJames SanfordHow much you enjoy this 'Out-of-Towners' will have a lot to do with how many times you can laugh at what amounts to a series of variations on the same joke. |
| Common Sense MediaBrian CostelloSex talk and slapstick violence in screwball comedy remake. |
| ReelTalk Movie ReviewsBetty Jo TuckerJohn Cleese upstages everyone as an arrogant New York hotel manager. His zany dancing in women's clothes brings back memories of those Monty Python silly walks sketches. |
| Hollywood Report CardRoss Anthonytoggles between the tedious and the hilarious |
| Internet ReviewsSteve RhodesThe Kellermans are played without much chemistry by Steve Martin and Goldie Hawn. |
| Chicago TribuneMichael WilmingtonAs the harried household head in The Out-of-Towners, the thrill is gone. Martin's character is dull, and his performance is fatigued -- Hawn, a trouper, locates all the available giggles and wins applause for her big tantrum scene. And John Cleese is riotously funny. |
| San Francisco ExaminerG. Allen JohnsonCompetent, to be sure, with some good lines. |
| Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasDon't hate yourself for chuckling at this sweetly anachronistic update of the 1970 Neil Simon comedy. |
