High Heels and Low Lifes Ratings & Reviews
jackmeat
July 16, 2025
My quick rating - 6.0/10.
BeatBoxBetty.com
It's the charming wit and screen presence of McCormack that saves this picture from being a total mess.
Combustible Celluloid
Jeffrey M. Anderson
With the tiny I.Q.s of the characters in this film, it wouldn't have been much harder for the likes of Laverne and Shirley to pull off the same joyless stunt.
Sacramento News & Review
Jim Lane
Driver and McCormack make appealing heroines, and Kevin McNally and Michael Gambon are gratifyingly menacing villains.
Boxoffice Magazine
Chris Wiegand
Distinctly low on laughs and, despite a running time of only 86 minutes, far outstays its welcome.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
A shrill and ultimately annoying tale.
San Francisco Chronicle
Carla Meyer
Like the designer suits Driver wears despite her character's meager earnings, High Heels and Low Lifes isn't about reality; it's playing dress- up.
Reel.com
Betsy Bozdech
High Heels' main problem is that Smith can't seem to decide whether the movie is an over-the-top comedy or a sassy action film.
Internet Reviews
Steve Rhodes
Director Mel Smith uses the same silly sense of comedy that he did in Bean.
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Thomas
There are, however, no highs in High Heels and Low Lifes. Just lows.
E! Online
Reality goes right out the window in this silly shoot-'em-up, which never gets quite silly enough.
IFilm
Dave White
Is It Worse Than Beautiful? No, but Minnie Driver needs to be in a decent movie fast.
Seattle Post-Intelligencer
William Arnold
The movie has 'straight-to-video' written all over it.
Mr. Showbiz
Kevin Maynard
A mostly smart attempt to resurrect Ealing Studios-style hijinks.
Hollywood Report Card
Ross Anthony
seems to be putting forth effort towards comedy ... but I laughed out loud only once.
New Times
Luke Y. Thompson
This movie is every bit the mess its title makes it sound.
Filmcritic.com
Christopher Null
One of those tired comedy capers that turns on a series of incredible coincidences en route to cracking lame jokes.
SPLICEDWire
Rob Blackwelder
It's more a ride at an estrogen empowerment amusement park than it is a viable idea for a motion picture.
Film Freak Central
Walter Chaw
High Heels and Low Lifes' low-rent aspirations would be far more palatable if not for the film's dedication to painting men as either lowlife thugs or bumbling morons.
The Hollywood Reporter
Mark Adams
A refreshingly engaging British movie that isn't afraid to go all out for laughs and thrills, leaving its social conscience behind.
