Critic Reviews

Lou Lumenick

Isn't great, but it's an enjoyable if overly discreet and romanticized look at a long-vanished show-business world. Read full review

Stephanie Zacharek

A cupcake of a movie, a sweet and lightweight little thing that's all but served up in a ruffled paper cup. Read full review

Jack Mathews

Intermittently funny. Read full review

J. Hoberman

Aspires to be both stylish and coarse, camp and vulgar -- which is pretty much how Bette Midler plays it. Read full review

Walter Addiego

Second-banana material. Read full review

Rene Rodriguez

Just plain bad. Really, really bad. Read full review

Desson Thomson

Despite Bette Midler giving her all, the film was overtly bland and not amusing. Something simply was missing from Isn't She Great... and it was missing for the entire film.
