---|---|---|---|
United States | Chicago Sun-Times | "The results are very good (...) But having worked through similar material, Demme suffers a dropping-off of urgency here (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)" | POS |
United States | Variety | "Fresh, colorful and inventive, Married to the Mob is another offbeat entertainment from director Jonathan Demme." | POS |
United States | Chicago Reader | "Director Jonathan Demme's farcical and broad 1988 comedy, written by Barry Strugatz and Mark R. Burns, doesn't really work, but there are plenty of enjoyable compensations" | NEU |

United States | The Washington Post | "A mix of goofy ethnicity, romance and self-discovery, "Married to the Mob" is an offer you can't refuse." | POS |
United Kingdom | Time Out | "Amazingly, for all its hip anarchy, it's finally an oddly old-fashioned slice of entertainment. Preston Sturges might have approved." | POS |
