- 80Time OutTime OutRoger Corman's production, following up on his own Bloody Mama, is something of a delight. Although covering the familiar ground of bank robbing during the Depression, the film persistently and boisterously treads its own path.
- 75Miami HeraldHoward CohenMiami HeraldHoward CohenBig Bad Mama, essentially a sexier, campier knockoff of 1967's Bonnie and Clyde, finds Dickinson and her comely daughters committing armed robbery in 1930s Texas, and ranks among Corman's best films. [27 Jan 2006, p.24]
- Gleefully trashy BONNIE AND CLYDE ripoff, served up the Corman way.
- 70IGNIGNFilled with nudity, violence and loads of B-movie fun, Big Bad Mama strikes the perfect balance between exploitative raunchiness, and great low-key action and excitement.
- As Wilma McClatchie, the widow who, along with her two teenage daughters, heads into a life of crime with nary a trace of regret, Ms. Dickinson is at her most gloriously sexy.
- 30Village VoiceVillage VoiceBig Bad Mama is essentially a soft-core porno movie without the courage of Russ Meyer. [02 Dec 1974, p.90]
