Compromising Positions Ratings & Reviews
Sojourner
Kathi Maio
I only know that I found this lightweight mystery movie surprisingly thought-provoking.
TV Guide
A lightweight but most enjoyable comedy-mystery.
Variety
Variety Staff
A silly little whodunnit that's a mild embarrassment to all involved.
Spirituality & Practice
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
Frank Perry's lackadaisical direction hobbles the forward movement of the story and keeps it from being a funny as it could be.
eFilmCritic.com
Scott Weinberg
Instantly forgettable fluff.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
The movie has such a bitter core, such a distaste for its characters, that I ended up feeling uncomfortable in its company.
Chicago Reader
Dave Kehr
A very mixed bag, but those who've missed a storytelling sense in American movies might want to have a look.
