Entertainment Weekly
High school reunions should only be this satisfying.

A wild at heart, anarchic comedy that believes in living dangerously.

Rolling Stone
A bright burst of action and comedy with a cast that makes for rousing good company.

A hilarious new addition to the wonderfully warped Generation X-Files.

Chicago Tribune
Grosse Pointe Blank is covering the same kind of territory as that elephantine, if exciting, 1994 family man-killer thriller, "True Lies." But this time, the joke stings. [11 April 1997, Friday, p.A]
80
Enough wild-card energy to keep it bright and surprising.

USA Today
The kind of quirky, character-driven comedy they don't make much anymore.
63
Chicago Sun-Times
The film takes the form but not the feel of a comic thriller. It's quirkier than that.
50
The picture is a soggy, all-over-the- place mess.
50
New York Daily News
The tone remains uneasily divided between lightly realistic character comedy and the darkest, chilliest kind of farce.
