The New York TimesJanet Maslin
[Grand Canyon] eventually pulls its punches, taking an unconvincingly beatific look at the problems and dangers that have been so persuasively outlined in what has come before. But until it hits that false note, Mr. Kasdan's film is at least as fascinating as it is amorphous. Read full review

Canyon is similarly slick, though even more heavy-handed in hammering home its points. [26 Dec 1991]
