Pretty good -- nice-looking -- black comedy with less copouts than usual.
February 11, 2008
Trying to wring yocks from a deranged couple locked in mortal combat over possession of their house is more suited to film noir than black comedy.
July 30, 2003
DeVito exerts a control behind the camera that is otherwise almost nonexistent in contemporary American film comedy.

[A] deliciously jaundiced perspective on matrimony.
May 26, 2006
The film just keeps getting darker and more claustrophobic, like sliding down the center of a spiral.
September 28, 2012
Greatly amusing, but its lasting achievement is DeVito's atmospheric authority, shaping a genuine filmmaking triumph in style and mood that deserves a standing ovation.
Chicago Reader
February 11, 2008
DeVito's taste for unorthodox camera angles and striking camera movements occasionally verges on overreaching but for the most part admirably serves the action.
New York Times
May 20, 2003
DeVito's direction is distinctively odd (with a lot of low-angle shots looking up at things), enjoyably mischievous and always somehow mindful that there may be, at the heart of all this comic mayhem, something substantial going on.
February 11, 2008
One of the most durable -- and characteristic -- comedies of the 1980s.
January 26, 2006
De Vito's quirky camera angles and Kathleen Turner's steely-eyed spite inject a sadistic comic-strip madness into a film that for once has the nerve to see its nastiness through.
February 11, 2008
Wildly funny and deeply disturbing.
Rolling Stone
May 12, 2001
DeVito triumphs by instilling this caustic satire with truth and consequence.
