Critic Reviews

Peter Travers

Thornton plays this low-ball farce with deceptive, masterful ease. Appreciate it. Read full review

Sean Axmaker

This half-baked production sat on Miramax's shelf for a couple of years. It's no more done now than then, merely more stale. Read full review

J.R. Jones

The movie's "Beverly Hillbillies" humor had me laughing moderately, and by the end I wasn't even looking around to make sure no one noticed. Read full review

Chris Hewitt

It's never a good sign when a movie's credits include: ''Tony Orlando as himself.'' But the crooner is the highlight of the dreadful Waking Up in Reno. Read full review

Mark Caro

Its jokes aren't funny. Its sloppy direction comes courtesy of Jordan Brady, who made "The Third Wheel," another reportedly failed comedy gathering cobwebs at Miramax. Read full review

Todd McCarthy

A hillbilly romantic comedy in which the hillbillies show up but the romance and comedy never do. Read full review

Kevin Thomas

The one thing that can be said of Waking Up in Reno is that it's rigorously consistent. Every note rings false. Read full review

Brilliant dialogue and amazing performances from a stellar cast. So, so funny. The critics totally missed this one--it's a B movie, sure, but with the funniest lines ever.
