United States	Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times	"'I.Q.' is a romantic comedy with its heart in the right place, and all of the other pieces distributed correctly, too (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Variety Staff Variety	"A paean to movies past, I.Q. recalls the style and attitude of a bygone era while retaining a contemporary spirit and polish."	POS
United States	Michael Wilmington Los Angeles Times	"I.Q. has a commendable idea. Brains aren't everything. You should follow your heart. Fine. Agreed. But just like E=MC2, you gotta prove it. With brains and heart"	NEU
United States	Jay Carr Boston Globe	"There's not only physics between them, but chemistry. I.Q. may be slight, but it's a civilized delight"	POS
United Kingdom	Angie Errigo Empire	"Relatively speaking it's nonsense, but very cute (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU

United States	Kevin Thomas Los Angeles Times	"Matthau has the best role, but Robbins and Ryan are finally simply too good for their material, which is not nearly inspired enough to do justice to their talent."	NEU
