	Author	Review
United Kingdom	Time Out	"The crass Scots jokes are irresistible; Alan Arkin's cameo as a mild-mannered police chief is sheer perfection; and the cultish references to Beat poetry should please slumming hipsters"	POS
United States	Leonard Klady Variety	"A delightful and unexpected surprise."	POS
United States	Jay Carr Boston Globe	"Mike Myers' new comedy isn't quite as fresh and bubbly and goofy as 'Wayne's World,' but it's hip, lively fun, with only a slight bit of sag."	POS
United Kingdom	Empire	"After the success of 'Wayne's World', much was expected from Myers and this is a distinctly average comedy which failed to deliver"	NEU
United States	Janet Maslin The New York Times	"It comes as a welcome surprise that 'So I Married an Axe Murderer,' which might have been nothing more than a by-the-numbers star vehicle, surrounds Mr. Myers with amusing cameos and gives him a chance to do more than just coast."	POS
United States	Christopher Monfette IGN	"It's funny, it's charming, it's sweet – all elements that make it a more accessible comedy than Myers' later work"	POS
