Top Criticthe goods are a day late and a dollar short -- how apropos of the film itself.
01/01/00
In at least one way, Mickey Blue Eyes is also vastly superior to Analyze This -- it really never romanticizes, glamorizes or trivializes the Mafia.
01/01/00
A depressingly vacuous star vehicle!
01/01/00
The second half is a mess, full of characters going off in directions we're not prepared for and rogue plot devices that seem either to have been planned for and then forgotten, or added as an afterthought.
01/01/00
It's tough to make a case denying that Mickey Blue Eyes is of passable entertainment value, but it's equally difficult to argue that it offers anything fresh or inspired.
01/01/00
Routine and predictable.

Mickey Blue Eyes has a lot to recommend it.
01/01/00
At times, the laughs are reminiscient of the kind inspired by the bumbling Peter Sellers.

Brings an enlivening wit to a comedy of culture collision!
01/01/00
Count Mickey Blue Eyes as Viterelli's second solid mob comedy of the year!
01/01/00
The love story is ill-served by all directly involved.

Grant is always a pleasure to watch, and Caan looks like he's having the time of his life!
01/01/00
Mickey Blue Eyes has most of the ingredients in place for another one of those married-to-the-mob comedies, but the central character has to hold it together, and Hugh Grant is wrong for the role.

Top CriticAs a moviegoer, I never dreamed I would yearn for Leslie Nielsen.
06/25/04
Mickey Blue Eyes begins with hints of originality, only to end up on the trite and true low road.
01/01/00
A poorly plotted muddle!
