Critic Reviews

Desson Thomson

It's simple, sizzly and very funny. Read full review

Sean Axmaker

Murders aside, Mac and Pat are the most fun-loving Shakespearean couple to hit the screen, and Morrissette's answer to Lady Macbeth's damned spot is brilliant. Read full review

New Times (L.A.) Gregory Weinkauf

Hovers curiously short of its full potential for mirth and mayhem. Still, the movie is more fair than foul, and it succeeds well enough as a freakish experiment and mockery of all concerned.

TV Guide Magazine Ken Fox

Basically a one-joke film, but the joke is a good one. Read full review

Jami Bernard

As Shakespeare adaptations go, Scotland, PA. is just a McNugget, but the actors help sustain the satiric tone right up until McBeth's lady finally gets that stain out the old-fashioned way, with a cleaver.

Peter Travers

Walken is so funny, he almost makes you forget this flick is one joke stretched thinner than Calista Flockhart. Read full review

Kevin Thomas

It's easy to accuse Morrissette of condescending to a bunch of yokels, but hardly anybody would hold that against him if the result had been hilarious instead of deadly dull. Read full review

Just another hamburger joint with mediocre burgs and slightly cold fries.
