TIME Magazine - 6/10 by Richard CorlissThere are a couple of droll sight gags, but nothing can redeem Wholly Moses! from its destiny of eternal mirthlessness.
Chicago Sun-Times - 3/10 by Roger EbertThe movie's not funny on its own, and since movie audiences are scarcely going to be shocked by its mild but relentlessly repetitive irreverence, it all boils down to a very old joke.

User Review - 8/10 by Rebecca Rit's herchel, almost moses. this is a funny movie, especially if you like those old 80s comedies. it's got a great lineup of funny people.
User Review - 6/10 by PAULa pretty good movie that is alot like the monty python movie "life of brian".
User Review - 2/10 by bill sOne of the worse movies Moore ever made and with this cast that's doubly bad.
User Review - 2/10 by Abel DA sad affair. The filmmakers thought it would be a good idea to bring together a bunch of celebrities - like a variety show - but the problem is they didn't have much of a story. Setting it during biblical times with Dudley Moore's character playing someone like Moses, may have sounded like a half-decent pitch but unfortunately they forgot to hire comedic writers. It's as if they just ended up relying on the comedy stars to "be funny". Nope. Didn't work. There isn't a single laugh in this terribly boring mess. Richard Pryor is a mild highlight. But considering three minutes of his wacky expressions are the only memorable thing, I think it's safe to say, one can skip this movie. Weirdest bit? John Ritter as the devil in a scene that couldn't be more mundane.
User Review - 2/10 by Richard LThis film was so bad that my girlfriend and I broke up after it.
