---|---|---|---|---|
"Roxanne is far and away [Martin's] richest film to date, lyrical, sweet-natured, touching, and very, very funny." | ||||
"So fulsome is its tenderness and naivete' that it requires a leap of imagination from the viewer to get on its wavelength. Few recent movies, though, reward the stretch as this one does" | ||||
"What makes Roxanne so wonderful is not this fairly straightforward comedy, however, but the way the movie creates a certain ineffable spirit (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)" | ||||
"As a reworking of Edmond Rostand's play Cyrano de Bergerac, the only reason to see the film is for a few bits of inspired nonsense by Steve Martin as the nosey lover." | ||||
"Light and likable, with hearts unabashedly all over its sleeves, Roxanne is a winning romantic comedy" | ||||
"Martin, certainly, has never been better, and Hannah, though limited as a performer, has a glow beyond her considerable physical charms" |
