Terrible comedy with a few amusing moments. Not dark enough on one end, not silly enough on the other.

Reviews for Mixed Nuts
One of the most poorly conceived, inept, and ridiculous motion pictures ever greenlighted in Hollywood.

Steve Martin can be good, and also very, very bad. This is an example of the latter.

The dialogue is so bad that it's hard to believe anyone would even want to try to deliver it.

Martin's comedic talents show no signs of life in this truly abysmal adaptation of a superior French farce...

Every character shines with such dazzling intensity and such inexhaustible comic invention that the movie becomes tiresome, like too many clowns.

Most of the film goes awry with far too many misfired, ill-conceived gags.

How to take a stellar cast and do absolutely nothing with it.

The beginning of Steve Martin's non-funny comedies. Ephron should know better as well.

A dreadful, dreary would-be dark comedy.

A typical sight gag is people rollerbladding down the street carrying a Christmas tree between them. An irritated boyfriend then runs into them and knocks the tree over. Boy, that one sure put me in stitches.
01/01/00
Awful -- even worse when you think about the caliber of talent involved
11/10/04
Odd, oddly likable little comedy.
11/05/02
A title song incorporating the names of nut varieties is only one of the film's desperate ploys.
