Critic Reviews for Eight on the Lam

All Critics (2) | Top Critics (1) | Rotten (2)

Bob Hope has given the screen some of its most amusing moments, but Eight on the Lam, unfortunately, contains none of them.

Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times
With family comedies so few and far between, it's a pity this one couldn't have been better.
