Reviews

Roger Ebert said in the Chicago Sun-Times of April 12, 1995 that the Stuart Smalley skits were currently among the funniest of the series. Stuart Stupid has eliminated his doubts as to whether a complete film could be made out of them . The film is just as amusing as the skits and also contains “convincing” characters and an “irresistible” story.

Mick LaSalle, on the other hand, came to the conclusion in his review in the San Francisco Chronicle of April 12, 1995 that the film was a "misfire" - albeit one that was more interesting than many successes.

The lexicon of international film said: “Not unintelligent comedy with surprisingly sarcastic, but always human features. Also noteworthy is the main actor who, despite all the stylistic exaggeration, always remains realistic in terms of content. "
