- 75San Francisco ChronicleEdward GuthmannSan Francisco ChronicleEdward GuthmannIt's a bouncy, occasionally awkward diversion with sharply written characters and good actors.
- 63ReelViewsJames BerardinelliReelViewsJames BerardinelliA clunky script that reduces the characters to one-dimensional stereotypes.
- 60The New York TimesJanet MaslinThe New York TimesJanet MaslinManages to have playful comic ingenuity of its own.
- 58Entertainment WeeklyTy BurrEntertainment WeeklyTy BurrIf writer-director Tony Vitale ladles on the cliches with extra sauce, Guido still has a hey-Ma-I'm-makin'-a-movie enthusiasm that's more infectious than it has a right to be.
- 50Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertChicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertA movie with a lot of funny one-liners, but no place to go with them.
- 50San Francisco ExaminerBarbara ShulgasserSan Francisco ExaminerBarbara ShulgasserNeither offensive nor inspired.
- 40Chicago ReaderLisa AlspectorChicago ReaderLisa AlspectorIf spelling out stereotypes were inherently funny the movie would be a hoot.

- 30L.A. WeeklyErnest HardyL.A. WeeklyErnest HardyThat crack in Vitale's storytelling foundation would be forgivable if the writing, acting and character epiphanies . . . well, existed. As it is, not even Scotti's formidable lips can blow life into this stillborn flick.
- 30Washington PostMichael O'SullivanWashington PostMichael O'SullivanAn unfunny comedy by Tony Vitale that is enacted not by fleshed-out characters but by hackneyed, two-dimensional stereotypes. There’re so many sexual and ethnic caricatures, it’s hard to know which is most offensive.
