Critic Reviews

Empire Darren Bignell

The whole madcap production is at best faintly amusing, at worst, painfully protracted Read full review

James Berardinelli

Things might have been okay if this film had gone someplace, anyplace, but it stalls early, then coasts through an hour of minimally-amusing material before screeching to an amazingly improbable stop. Read full review

Ty Burr

Carpool is affably stupid Saturday-matinee fare -- good for opiating the kids for a few hours -- but let's just say it's no Big Bully. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Staff (not credited)

Indifferently directed and almost aggressively tedious, we'd call it cliched if they'd even bothered getting the cliches right. Read full review

Marjorie Baumgarten

Nothing about the movie makes much sense. Read full review

Rita Kempley

Arthur Hiller, who last directed the sour "The Babe" -- not the one about that sweet pig -- finds even less to work with in TV veteran Don Rhymer's stupid screenplay. Read full review

Jack Mathews

Warner Bros. quietly releases Hiller's latest film, Carpool, without advance critics screenings, without more than a whisper of promotion, without warning or apology to the lost souls who might wander in to see it. Read full review

With an awfully predictable end, and an equally silly script, This movie is one big pile of waste that should never get the honor of being bought by somebody with an IQ score of 75.
