In the end, it is all pretty woeful.February 09, 2006
It's certainly not a subtle movie, but with memorable performances, ludicrously over-the-top one-liners and amiable zaniness, it qualifies as a lot of fun.May 07, 2016
Bottom line: Good roles for the stars, nice production values, and an impressive supporting cast, but no thrills and only minor laughs.December 08, 2007
What could have been an interesting and funny period piece under the directorship of original screenwriter Edwards is turned into a tedious, infantile mess by director Benjamin.December 08, 2007
An amiable but decidedly lukewarm confection geared entirely around the two star turns.October 23, 2004

One wishes the only pairing of Clint and Burt were better, but City Heat is still fun.January 01, 2000
Under the direction of last-minute replacement Richard Benjamin, the results are insufferable -- grotesque, chaotic, demoralized.August 30, 2004
One of Mr. Benjamin's main contributions to the film is a good-humored buoyancy, even when things are at their most muddled.
