Owen Gleiberman Entertainment Weekly Rated: C Sep 7, 2011 Full Review Nell Minow Common Sense Media Messy movie. Not much for teens here. Rated: 2/5 Dec 26, 2010 Full Review Mick LaSalle San Francisco Chronicle Rated: 1/4 Jun 18, 2002 Full Review Leigh Paatsch Herald Sun (Australia) There are some nice comic touches here and there, usually involving the odd Goodfellas/Godfather reference. The rest is pure ham off the bone. Rated: 1.5/5 Dec 20, 2020 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews An agreeable if forgettable comedy... Rated: 2.5/4 Dec 14, 2016 Full Review Rene Rodriguez Miami Herald Rated: 2.5/4 Jan 31, 2011 Full Review Read all reviews

Joel H I remember seeing posters for Mickey Blue Eyes when it came out, but I didn’t really hear anything about the movie from others and it slowly faded into the past. It’s actually not a bad romantic comedy. I smirked, laughed, and gasped at times, and I generally enjoyed myself as I watched it. The plot is definitely contrived, but no more so than other rom-coms of the time. It’s no surprised that Hugh Grant plays the part of a bumbling, awkward Englishman well, and I actually liked seeing Burt Young in his role as a no-nonsense mobster. I may forget I saw Mickey Blue Eyes, but I liked it in the moment. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/23/24 Full Review Lily D Fun, light hearted, a few decent laughs. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/30/23 Full Review Audience Member It's a curiosity, and that's about it. Just a way to see Jimmy Cahn essentially reprise his Godfather role, but watered down considerably... and thrown in the guy from 4 Weddings & A Funeral. Just a weird combo, and it doesn't work. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member There was so little romance in this movie that I don't believe it should be classified as such. The same holds true for the comedy label. If you enjoy watching others being put into unfortunate and cringe-worthy situations then you might enjoy this movie. I found the mafia stereotypes to be cliché and the behavior/dialogue of many of the characters unbelievable. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Great movie to watch with your family and friends. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member Thanks to the laugh-out-loud humour and feel-good story of "Mickey Blue Eyes", it will be a while before you "forged aboud id". Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Read all reviews
