The Slugger's Wife Ratings & Reviews
Reel Film Reviews
David Nusair
...increasingly erratic...
Copley News Service
David Elliott
This is the most nakedly calculated film Simon has written (which is really saying something), and also the least funny.
TV Guide
It is one of the most disappointing, least credible films about baseball in recent memory.
Kalamazoo Gazette
James Sanford
Neil Simon on auto-pilot; the results are dreadful
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Simon's not in a lighthearted mood, and so the silliness of the story gets bogged down in all sorts of gloomy neuroses, angry denunciations, and painful self-analysis.
New York Times
Janet Maslin
Resoundingly unfunny.
