Micki & Maude | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Paul Attanasio Washington Post Who expected Dudley Moore to be a cerebral actor? Jan 4, 2018 Full Review Micki & Maude | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times Dudley Moore is developing into one of the great movie comedians of his generation. Rated: 4/4 Oct 23, 2004 Full Review Micki & Maude | Rotten Tomatoes (3) David Nusair Reel Film Reviews It's a testament to Edwards' approach to Jonathan Reynolds' screenplay that Micki + Maude never quite becomes the sleazy, icky piece of work one might've anticipated... Rated: 3/4 Aug 6, 2020 Full Review Micki & Maude | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Molly Haskell Vogue Edwards manages to steer a miraculously evenhanded course, thanks to the expert performances of his three leads.

Allen R There were some funny moments, but it's painful to watch knowing this guy could have been truthful so many times but doesn't to save himself from conflict. At some point early on it becomes difficult to root for him. Rated 2/5 Stars • Rated 2 out of 5 stars 04/15/24 Full Review Jeff M There's a million different ways in which this film could have been a disaster considering its decidedly non-PC plot line - reading the description one could imagine a dramatic Lifetime Television Movie Event. Miraculously it not only works but is one of the great comedies of the last 50 years, a criminally underrated gem from master comedy director Blake Edwards. Honestly, the success or failure of this comedy depends solely on the likability and believability of its leading man, and Dudley Moore succeeds brilliantly. His character makes decisions that are realistically borderline heinous, but we appreciate his dilemma and understand his heart. Irving and Reinking as the wives are both luminous, and the supporting cast of character actors first rate. As a side note, I don't think this film would EVER be green-lit in today's sensitive climate. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/26/24 Full Review Audience Member Tried and true Dudley Moore/Blake Edwards farce generally works although was probably past its prime at this point; remarkable that Ann Reinking did not become a major star as she looks nothing short of amazing on screen Rated 2.5/5 Stars • Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review steve d Not remotely funny or amusing. Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member started good & then became boring, beautiful theme song but the circumstance is infuriating and sexist Rated 2/5 Stars • Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Good fun stuff!! Believe It!! Just saw it on the telly with my grammy at the old folks home!! shi shi shi!! Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Read all reviews
