Delirious Ratings & Reviews
El Nuevo Herald (Miami)
Rene Jordan
In Delirious, everything is like a telenovela. Strictly on a diet of absurdity, the film loses comedy and ends up being annoying. [Full review in Spanish]
Miami Herald
Bill Cosford
The soaps remain safe - so far the real things are dependably funnier than the movies about them.
Sacramento Bee
Joe Baltake
John Candy and company may have been loudly struggling and straining on screen to find even a smidgen of humor in the pathetic plot, but you could hear a pin drop in the theater.
Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Steve Murray
To its credit, "Delirious" has a sweet affability, even at its most predictable.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Ellen Futterman
While there are some pleasant, even funny, moments, many of the gags are of the "slapschtick" variety, with much too much slap and no real memorable schtick.
Orlando Sentinel
Jay Boyar
Often... the script and the all-thumbs direction of Tom Mankiewicz leave Candy and the rest of the cast (Mariel Hemingway, Emma Samms, David Rasche, Raymond Burr) stranded.
New York Daily News
Harry Haun
Despite the Candy topping, "Delirious" ain't delicious.
Tulsa World
Brad Phelps
Delirious is what everyone involved with this project must have been when they decided it was a good idea.
Los Angeles Times
Michael Wilmington
It's a movie about a nightmare, but instead of turning into some kind of bad dream itself, it just turns into a bad movie.

Brian Orndorf
It appears as though Mankiewicz wanted to conduct his own triumphant slapstick symphony with Delirious. He just brought the wrong sheet music to share with his cast.
Variety
Variety Staff
Delirious is a witless comedy about soap operas in which the estimable John Candy mugs uncomfortably through a desperately unfunny script with a plot as tediously convoluted as those it spoofs.

John Candy goooooood!
About.com
Fred Topel
Excellent comedy. Really plays the soap opera and magic typewriter gimmicks to the fullest.
New York Times
Janet Maslin
The film has slow stretches, but Mr. Candy is jaunty enough to keep the mood good-humored.
Austin Chronicle
Louis Black
Though clever, Delirious is so light it just keeps threatening to blow away. Candy, who is fine at the center of this, is just not powerful enough to pull it all into him.
