Critic Reviews for Hot to Trot

All Critics (16) | Top Critics (6) | Rotten (16)

Hot to Trot is a movie to make ninnies whinny, audiences gag and horses hide their heads.

Los Angeles Times
It`s true that there has been a shocking dearth of talking-horse pictures lately, but even so, Hot to Trot has few pleasures to offer.

Dave Kehr
Chicago Tribune
The humor is so low that it could justifiably be called subterranean.

I am not going to try to tell you that this one-joke, talking-horse comedy is, in any meaningful sense, a good movie. What I am going to say is that it's a little better than my rock-bottom expectations led me to predict.

Jay Boyar
Orlando Sentinel
Although Michael Dinner's direction is noticeably better than the material, the film aims consistently for the lowest common denominator.

New York Times
Hot to Trot is an unbridled disaster, a screwball horseplay so lame you want to put it out of its misery. Equus is funnier.

A justifiably notorious bomb...

David Nusair
Reel Film Reviews
The old talking-animal routine gets a bit of an update in that this time the animal is vulgar and profane in a way Mr. Ed or Francis the Talking Mule would never have been. But that's about the extent of the inventiveness in this unfunny comedy.

[Hot to Trot] sounded truly awful. It turned out to be worse.

Confused and confusing.
