United States | Chicago Tribune | "A cheerful, if not particularly deft, summer-camp comedy." | NEU |
United States | AV Club | "The movie has a lumpy shape, and its jokes are often obvious and crude, but it’s a lot sweeter than the other raunchy comedies of the era" | POS |
United States | The Washington Post | "A sort of 'M★A★S★H' for campers (...) Bill Murray makes a deceptively sensational debut as a film comedy star." | POS |
United States | Newsweek | "This film has almost none of the scraggy, raunchy, irreverent anarchy that gave "Animal House" a kind of perverse anti-style." | NEU |
United States | The New York Times | "With far fewer high spirits than 'Animal House,' and only two characters of any interest, Meatballs reveals itself to be a loud, offkey cry for conformism (...) It's a sheep in wolf's clothing" | NEU |
