Critic Reviews of "The Front Page"
Time OutJanuary 26, 2006It relies too much on foul language, inappropriate slapstick, and superficial cynicism.
New York TimesJanuary 01, 2000Even though the mechanics and demands of movie-making slow what should be the furious tempo, this Front Page displays a giddy bitterness that is rare in any films except those of Mr. Wilder. It is also, much of the time, extremely funny.
EmanuelLevy.ComFebruary 22, 2012This third version of the 1928 smash play is only mildly entertaining; Billy Wilder has no new take on the text and his stars may be too old.
Urban CinefileOctober 06, 2007Full of wonderful comedic business, throw-away lines and some effortless ensemble set pieces, The Front Page bristles with its collection of talents on both sides of the camera.... It's that Billy Wilder touch of hurtful grains of truth inside every com
TV GuideAugust 14, 2007This slick remake of the ebullient original falls short of being the film it could have been, despite the presence of master filmmaker Wilder and his engaging costars.
Video-Reviewmaster.comMarch 17, 2006Funny retelling with Lemmon and Matthau guided by Billy Wilder.
tonymedley.comJuly 09, 2005not up to the original
Film4May 24, 2003Matthau and Lemmon put in their usual faultless turns, but cannot lift a pervading air of pointlessness.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)July 30, 2002It bombed then. It looks better now, but it's still a distant third in films of the play
eFilmCritic.comJuly 25, 2002Not the finest adaptation of the oft-visited source material, but hey, it's Wilder, Lemmon, and Matthau!
Filmcritic.comJanuary 01, 2000It drags in the middle, but a good first act and a stellar finale make the movie completely worthwhile.
