Critics' reviews

"The Marrying Man isn't awful; it's something much less fun - conspicuously mediocre."

Peter Travers: Rolling Stone
"The lack of momentum ensures that the movie runs out of steam long before it reaches its inevitable conclusion..."

David Nusair: Reel Film
""The Marrying Man" seems to have died en route from Neil Simon's brain to the movie theater".

Vincent Canby: The New York Times
"A stillborn romantic comedy of staggering ineptitude."

Variety Staff: Variety
"Even real-life lovers Baldwin and Basinger fail to incinerate the screen with the passion that supposedly gets their nuptially cursed characters in the mess they're in."

Steve Davis: Austin Chronicle
"Your basic, everyday boy-meets-girl, boy-marries-girl, boy-divorces-girl, boy-marries-girl-again, boy-divorces-girl-again, boy well, you get the idea."

Owen Gleiberman: Entertainment Weekly
"It's hard to spot vintage Neil Simon in his screenplay for this indulgent comedy..."

Derek Adams: Time Out
