Eventually, the movie reaches a point where sheer plot contrivance is the only way out, and a lot of steam is lost when the FBI gets involved and the actual wedding ceremony approaches.

Grant should consider hypnotic therapy to help him forget Mickey Blue Eyes!

Jane Sumner Dallas Morning News (Top Critic)

We've seen this fish - out - of - water plot before, but clever writing and careful casting give it a fresh bite and looniness.

Mickey Blue Eyes has most of the ingredients in place for another one of those married-to-the-mob comedies, but the central character has to hold it together, and Hugh Grant is wrong for the role.

Michael Wilmington Chicago Tribune (Top Critic)

Mickey is a limply derivative, disappointingly trivial and hokey fish-out-of-water crime comedy!

This is a movie that takes Hugh's charm as a granted and makes a good argument for its point of view.

Grant is always a pleasure to watch, and Caan looks like he's having the time of his life!

Atrocious!

Robert Horton Film.com (Top Critic)

In Mickey Blue Eyes, Grant is repeatedly mortified, humiliated, and otherwise pained, which means there is much for us to smile at.

Uninspired, recycled!

It's tough to make a case denying that Mickey Blue Eyes is of passable entertainment value, but it's equally difficult to argue that it offers anything fresh or inspired.

Gets bogged down in the kind of tangled-web humor that should have died out with Three's Company.

As a moviegoer, I never dreamed I would yearn for Leslie Nielsen.

Count Mickey Blue Eyes as Viterelli's second solid mob comedy of the year!

Hampered by poor comic pacing and gags stolen from better movies.

A depressingly vacuous star vehicle!
