Leave your thoughts about Who's Harry Crumb?.
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzIt's so lacking in wit, it makes even Abbott and Costello seem so much smarter. |
| Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasIn this pleasantly silly private-eye spoof, Crumb is a grand poseur, shamelessly self-important, slow on the uptake yet good of heart and not the complete fool he so often seems. Director Paul Flaherty brings to the film consistent good judgment and deftness. |
| USA TodayTom GreenIn Who's Harry Crumb? Mr. Candy has a varied role, a good supporting cast, a script full of comic setups and every imaginable opportunity to shine. But the result is little more than a weak comedy, one that suggests Mr. Candy is potentially a great deal better than his material. |
| Washington PostRichard HarringtonWho's Harry Crumb? might have worked as a 20-minute skit, but the script and the direction are both sadly undernourished, which is certainly not the case with Candy. He remains a jovial character actor, but asking him to carry any film on those broad shoulders is a bit too much. The laughs are few and far between, even with Candy resorting to occasional disguises, and the humor has a depressing sense of de'ja` ha-ha. |
| Boston GlobeJay CarrCandy manages to squeeze a few laughs from the crude and cliche-ridden script, but Paul Flaherty directs broadly and obviously, with little feeling for comic pacing. |
| Cinema em CenaPablo VillaçaO slogan do filme é 'Nervos de aço. Corpo de ferro. Cérebro de pedra.'. A quem os produtores estavam se referindo? A Crumb ou a nós, pobres espectadores? |
| TheWorldJournal.comFrank OchiengAn outlandishly fluffy whodunnit farce that generates its inspired nuttiness from the likable John Candy. |
| User ReviewEric JNot an Oscar winner by a longshot but still one of my favorite movies. Has some classically stupid lines! |
| User ReviewKevin SPossibly the finest example of what John Candy was capable of when given free reign. |
| User ReviewAdam UI just love this movie I discovered Shawnee Smith because of it , 1 of my fav actresses Just adore her John is hilarious as crumb Plus the Auburn Speedster is beautiful |
