How to Murder Your Wife Ratings & Reviews
Esquire Magazine
Dwight MacDonald
In the screwball tradition, but the old shack has been redecorated with solid-mahogany furniture, plush drapes and wall-to-wall carpeting.
TIME Magazine
A nimble comedy that doesn't make much sense because it makes nonsense, most of it screechingly funny and played by knockabouts who know that the slapstick was invented for keeping an idea aloft, not for beating it into the ground.
TV Guide
This dated comedy is saved by Lemmon's comedic genius which eschews macho.
Variety
Variety Staff
Finesse and desire aren't enough to overcome the fact that Axelrod's script doesn't make the most of its potentially antic situations.
New York Times
Bosley Crowther
Believable or not, this stuff is funny just so long as one can go with the sour joke- -and that depends upon one's tolerance of trivia and also, perhaps, upon whether one is a fellow or a girl.
Apollo Guide
David Nusair
The movie contains unbelievably sexist lines and attitudes, and it's impossible to imagine anyone in this day and age watching the film without being horribly offended.
Cleveland Press
Tony Mastroianni
[It is] material that is quite up to []Jack Lemmon's] exceptional talents. Here is a superb technician at work, an actor whose every movement contributes toward a total effect.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Ken Hanke
Superior 60s sex comedy.
