Critic Reviews for The Survivors
All Critics (11) | Top Critics (4) | Fresh (1) | Rotten (10) | DVD (3)
An aimless, unfocused social comedy, The Survivors misfires on just about every level.
It's a bland piece of merchandise.
It's an aimless, self-indulgent, confusing comedy that never comes to grips with its material.
No one seems to have paid any attention to the screenplay or to have considered the awful truth that Mr. Matthau and Mr. Williams, each performers of great charm, don't play together very well.
Williams, Matthau, and Reed struggle with the material and generate some bright moments, but overall The Survivors is a bewildering, frustrating movie.
Dumb, forced comedy wastes talents of Robin Williams and Walter Matthau.
Audience Reviews for The Survivors
This movie brings to light the real cold war and nuclear paranoia of the 80s, but in a lighthearted way. Williams is particularly frantic in this movie, but pretty funny for the most part, and Matthau is the straight man to his mania, which often makes him look bored with the movie. Overall, a pretty good movie, though.
Super Reviewer
Some laugh out loud moments. What more were you expecting?
