Critic Reviews

Kevin Thomas

Flows smoothly, looks great and probably cost lots less than it looks. One can't help resist saying it delivers the goods. Read full review

Marc Savlov

The film’s major drawback is the broad strokes with which the henpecked trio of males is presented -- they’re not quite caricatures, but their individual quirks feel as though they were cribbed from other, better films. Read full review

Jami Bernard

Union is a brilliant spitfire, though one wishes the script had been run past an English major. But the movie's flaws are smoothed over by a rousing soundtrack, some excellent comic performances and the star-making moves of LL Cool J. Read full review

James Berardinelli

Deliver us from directors who think that asking cast members to overact is the only way he can cover us the numerous ludicrous weaknesses of his screenplay. Read full review

Rick Groen

In every way but one, this is just another genre pic on another mundane outing. Read full review

Lisa Schwarzbaum

Union, who looks so chic and can talk so bitchy-funny, doesn't so much establish a character as roll out a series of attitudes. That's all she's called on to do. That's all anyone is called on to do: Be very tame, and make much ado about zilch. Read full review

Keith Phipps

Hardwick switches gears from wacky comedy to romantic drama about halfway through Deliver Us, but it's too late, and what follows is far too dull to make any difference. Read full review

*sigh* A good movie with a terrible and utterly illogical ending. The strongest aspect of this movie was the performance of LL Cool J's and Gabrielle Union character, the negative aspect were the ending. This movie had its comedic moments which I thought were done, despite contrary belief.
