      What makes Roxanne so wonderful is not this fairly straightforward comedy, however, but the way the movie creates a certain ineffable spirit. ( Read More )
    • Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat

      This movie is filled with delicious comic moments and tart observations on the nature of beauty and the complexity of sexual politics. ( Read More )
    • Jeffrey M. Anderson

      Steve Martins winning performance and his brilliant screenplay make up most of Roxannes success, but Fred Schepisis direction completes it. ( Read More )
    • Ken Hanke

      On the plus side, I will say that the film manages the not inconsiderable feat of making Martinpossibly the least inherently sympathetic of all screen comicsreasonably sympathetic.That it does so by loading the story with a good deal more sapand a lot less witthan the original material offers is another matter.
