Reviews

James Berardinelli wrote on ReelViews, the successful romantic comedies would not live on the script, but also of the characters and of the representations. Mr. Wonderful fulfill these criteria. The film was not charged with those clichés that are in love films 'general' to be found. Matt Dillon and Anabella Sciorra would work well together.

The lexicon of international film wrote the comedy was " deliberately old-fashioned" and praised the performers. The city of New York had shown " in transfiguring gloss ", which is the " main attraction " of the film. The dialogues are " sanded "; the film was " smart " and " adorable ".
