Reviews
James Berardinelli wrote on ReelViews that successful romantic comedies not only thrive on the script, but also on the characters and the performances. Mr. Wonderful meet these criteria. The film is not burdened with those clichés that are "generally" to be found in love films. Matt Dillon and Anabella Sciorra would work well together.
The lexicon of international films wrote: “A deliberately old-fashioned romantic comedy with good actors, the main attraction of which is the city of New York, which is portrayed in transfiguring splendor. A lovable and clever film that uses small gestures and polished dialogues to take a stand on great emotions. "

The film grossed approximately $ 3.1 million in US cinemas .
