Johnny Dangerously Ratings & Reviews
Washington Post
Paul Attanasio
The great shame is that this mess belongs to director Amy Heckerling, whose gentle touch made "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" so much more than a teen sex comedy.

Steve Crum
Keaton in starring role helps, but overall average laughs.
Classic Film and Television
Michael E. Grost
Good spoof of The Roaring Twenties
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
The opening scenes of Johnny Dangerously are so funny you just don't see how they can keep it up. And you're right: They can't. But they make a real try.
Capital Times (Madison, WI)
Rob Thomas
Sorta funny for a while, but it runs out of ammo long before it's over
Flipside Movie Emporium
Rob Vaux
I know I shouldn't like this film, but dammit, it's just so gloriously exuberantly silly that there's no use condemning it.
KPBS.org
Beth Accomando
A mob comedy that shoots only blanks.
Movie Metropolis
John J. Puccio
...the film doesn't just run out of laughs; it becomes positively leaden by the last half hour.
Kalamazoo Gazette
James Sanford
"what looks like a sure thing misfires miserably"
