The Front Page Reviews
Video-Reviewmaster.com
Steve Crum
Funny retelling with Lemmon and Matthau guided by Billy Wilder.
New York Times
Vincent Canby
Even though the mechanics and demands of movie-making slow what should be the furious tempo, this Front Page displays a giddy bitterness that is rare in any films except those of Mr. Wilder. It is also, much of the time, extremely funny.

not up to the original
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Too much of it seemed stretched thin and unfunny.
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
This third version of the 1928 smash play is only mildly entertaining; Billy Wilder has no new take on the text and his stars may be too old.
Film Frenzy
Matt Brunson
Carol Burnett is terrible, but everyone else delivers the goods, from Austin Pendleton as the sweet and slightly befuddled convict to Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau playing to their usual strengths.
Vogue
Rosalyn Drexler
It must have seemed like a good idea at the time.
Christian Science Monitor
David Sterritt
True, there's some verbal crudity that's a disservice to everyone, especially the audience. But watching Lemmon and Matthau match wits can make up for a lot.
Battleship Pretension
Scott Nye
Little to recommend it going in, and even less coming out; not only is it a far lesser comedy than His Girl Friday, it doesn't have an ounce of that film's moral and emotional clarity.
Newsweek
Paul D. Zimmerman
Sadly, the movie strongly suggests that Wilder is out of touch with the temper of the times.
(MORE): A Journalism Review
Richard Schickel
Obviousness pervades everything Wilder and Diamond have done with the film.
Epoch Times
Ian Kane
If anything else, simply watch it to witness the incredible chemistry between Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon, two outstanding actors who are at the top of their game.
Reel Film Reviews
David Nusair
...a progressively tiresome endeavor...
New Yorker
Pauline Kael
If one didn't know the play or the previous film versions, one could never guess from the new production that it is based on a classic American play.
