Critics Reviews

Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times Oct 23, 2004
2/4
The movie itself is, finally, embarrassing. It's embarrassing because Vadim's personal hang-ups don't fit the nature of his material, and so he tries to bend things. Go to Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy Jul 15, 2026
2.5/4
Too juvenile to take seriously (I’ve seen episodes of The Benny Hill Show that were less leering) but too offbeat to completely dismiss. Go to Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins Aug 30, 2020
4/10
Gathering together the distinguished selection of Hudson, Dickinson, and Savalas for a story so deliciously eccentric is perhaps its greatest success. Go to Full Review Dilys Powell Sunday Times (UK) May 14, 2020
Pretty Maids All in a Row simply shares the ineffable vulgarity it portrays. Go to Full Review Kevin Carr 7M Pictures Jan 18, 2014
2.5/5
Were you to take out the sex and nudity, it would be nothing but an incomprehensible load of silliness. Go to Full Review Mike McGranaghan Aisle Seat Oct 25, 2010
I won't say that Pretty Maids All in a Row is a good film by any traditional measure. It is, however, a genuine curio. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Scott M @RT75128960 Apr 9, 2025 Can't say I hate seeing Angie Dickinson doing what she does in this movie. But they should've centered it more around her, and less around the guy. Plus cut out the entire murder detective senario. No one cares. See more Oct 23, 2018 well-made crap. here rating does not lie about it.
