SM Made me laugh out loud a couple times in this one and I want MC to adopt me. He is so cool. Lots of laughs and a surprise.

James Berardinelli
Unfortunately, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels isn't quite clever enough to justify the full 110-minute running length. There's a point at which it starts to feel like it has overstayed its welcome.
Los Angeles Times
Sheila Benson
Blithe, reasonably witty, with as many story twists as a Riviera roadway, its greatest assets are its glorious look (courtesy of Michael Ballhaus' exceptional camera work) and Michael Caine, his hair full of Dippety-Doo, his heart full of larceny.
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
The various twists seem needlessly spun out and implausible, although Martin is allowed to show off his brand of very physical comedy to some advantage, and Miles Goodman contributes a pleasant score.
FanboyNation.com
Sean Mulvihill
All these years later Dirty Rotten Scoundrels is still a practically perfect comedy, brimming from scene to scene with outrageous behavior amidst the gorgeous scenery of the French Riviera.
Film Frenzy
Matt Brunson
Bright performances define this film as much as the big belly laughs.
Reel Film Reviews
David Nusair
...a deliberately-paced yet consistently entertaining comedy that benefits substantially from Caine and Martin's superb work...

Sean Axmaker
Wit and culture and measured restraint take on unabashed brazenness and bullheaded improvisation in a crazy cartoon of the flimflam Olympics...
Common Sense Media
Elliot Panek
Martin and Caine scam women. Not for young kids.
TV Guide
An amusing comedy whose strengths and weaknesses both stem from the broad treatment of the material.
Variety
Variety Staff
A wonderfully crafted, absolutely charming remake of the 1964 film Bedtime Story.
Dispatch-Tribune Newspapers
Steve Crum
Near classic comedy of con artists on the loose with Steve Martin and Michael Caine playing off each other.
DVDJournal.com
Betsy Bozdech
The kind of old-fashioned, lighthearted con comedy that's hard to resist.
Fantastica Daily
Chuck O'Leary
Hilarious.
New York Times
Vincent Canby
Their comic methods are different, but from their first unequal encounter until the very last in a series of twist endings, Mr. Caine and Mr. Martin work together with an exuberant ease that's a joy to watch.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
The chemistry between Martin and Caine is fun, and Headly provides a resilient foil as a woman who looks like a pushover but somehow never seems to topple.
Washington Post
Hal Hinson
Martin, the most eloquent of physical clowns -- the Baryshnikov of comedy -- is at his most inspired here. He parodies feelings, attitudes, states of mind that one would think were exempt from it, and his caricature of dapper suavity is killingly precise.
