Critics' reviews
- "City Slickers is a funny and affecting comedy, with wonderful jokes and a script flashing intelligence in every direction"
- "A comedy that's cheery, earnest, harmless and almost totally lacking in bite"
- "The funny sequences and dumb jokes in City Slickers are so much more entertaining than the male-bonding blather"
- "Crystal is in top form, and if laughs are all you want, this movie has them"
