- 60Los Angeles TimesMichael WilmingtonLos Angeles TimesMichael WilmingtonIt’s cute and high-spirited, and it shows some talent and verve. Watching it, you feel that Beaird is capable of something really good; even when his material goes stale and tasteless, there’s a joie de vivre in his direction.
- 40TV Guide MagazineTV Guide MagazineThis could have been a sweet, charming little romantic comedy, but it is ruined by excessive vulgarity and gratuitous nudity.
- 30The New York TimesLawrence Van GelderThe New York TimesLawrence Van GelderDespite the presence of such performers as E. G. Marshall and Sean McClory and the comedy team of Penn (the hustler) and Teller (the Arab), My Chauffeur remains a victim of low literacy, muddled characterizations, frequently rudimentary acting and unrealized yearnings toward humor.
- The film starts out gently enough, capturing the after-hours banter of the chauffeurs as they play cards and try to ward off Casey`s intrusion. Unfortunately, this charming opening quickly degenerates into a film so needlessly obscene and offensive that it is hard to imagine what its creators were hoping to achieve.
- 25Miami HeraldBill CosfordMiami HeraldBill CosfordMy Chauffeur has moments of pure daffiness, unhinged stuff. But it is also the most ineptly made comedy in years, so badly made that it is ultimately unwatchable. [20 March 1986, p.B6]
