Critic Reviews of "Ruthless People"
Los Angeles TimesJuly 31, 2013The characters here aren't just bad; most of them are truly vile -- human slime. And the film makers chew them up (especially two nefarious bonbons played by Danny DeVito and Bette Midler) with the toothsome glee of jolly cannibals.
Orlando SentinelJuly 31, 2013Much of the fun of this comedy is in watching what happens as virtually everyone in the movie tries to double-cross or otherwise take advantage of everyone else.
Chicago ReaderJuly 31, 2013It's a rare kind of craftsmanship, and it produces a rare kind of pleasure.
VarietyMarch 26, 2009Ruthless People is a hilariously venal comedy about a kidnapped harridan whose rich husband won't pay for her return.
Cinemaphile.orgNovember 25, 2015A great deal of bizarre circumstances occur in this very effective farce, and for any mind that is easily won over by the insistence of shocking humor, it continues to hold a bewildering power to inspire shock, awe and some unforgettable chuckles.
Radio TimesAugust 11, 2014DeVito and Midler are superb in their roles as the greedy philanderer and his screaming, overbearing other half.
South Florida Sun-SentinelJuly 31, 2013Occasionally crude and tasteless, Ruthless People is a comedy with a vitriolic twist. It`s a comedy about people who love to hate, with actors who make it worth seeing.
TV GuideJuly 31, 2013Call it rude, crude, and lewd, but you also have to call it very funny.
Philadelphia Daily NewsJuly 31, 2013The people who made Ruthless People probably expect us to laugh... at the pushy people who populate their story. And they're right: We will laugh -- not because we have lousy taste (and wicked thoughts) ourselves, but because their film is genuinely funny.
People MagazineJuly 31, 2013At its considerable best, Ruthless People is a riotous anomaly: a very good farce about very bad taste.
