L.A. WeeklyErnest Hardy
Hardwick doesn't have the chops yet to give the movie the caffeinated zip that it needs to really fly. There are too many dull, flat stretches…(however) the soundtrack kicks ass. Read full review

TV Guide MagazineFrank Lovece
It would have been nice if Hardwick had a bigger budget for retakes to work out some of the supporting actors' stiffness, but he does keep the story moving, finding the humor in characters caught up in their own machinations rather than cheap wisecracks. Read full review

VarietyJoe Leydon
Well-cast relationship comedy-drama is played too broadly in the early going, but gradually settles into a more appealing groove as a glossy date-movie. Read full review

San Francisco ChronicleEdward Guthmann
A not-insubstantial comedy. Read full review

Miami HeraldConnie Ogle
May be dumb, but it must be noted that the screenwriters of this slight, silly comedy have borrowed from the best. Read full review

The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Rick Groen
In every way but one, this is just another genre pic on another mundane outing. Read full review

New York PostMegan Lehmann
Scriptwriters behind Deliver Us From Eva obviously expended all their creative energy on the catchy title and then promptly ran out of steam. Read full review

Chicago Sun-TimesRoger Ebert
It proceeds so deliberately from one plot point to the next that we want to stand next to the camera, holding up cards upon which we have lettered clues and suggestions. Read full review

ReelViewsJames 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

Boston GlobeTy Burr
Dawdles amiably and can't quite decide what it wants to be. Read full review

The New York TimesStephen Holden
If Deliver Us From Eva is amusing, it is not uproarious. Read full review

Entertainment WeeklyLisa 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

Village VoiceLaura Sinagra
As wrathful health inspector, possessed choir director, and general castrating angel, Union wrecks store with a slew of ass-chapping teardowns that would make Cam'ron curdle. Read full review
