Chicago Sun-Times Roger Ebert
There's a lot of funny stuff, but the most unexpected comes from Arnold, who has been uneven, to say the least, in his movies.

USA Today Claudia Puig
This fun-loving genre-bender, inspired by "Smokey and the Bandit," opens languidly, then picks up the pace. Even in the midst of cars racing, it's funny and endearing.

Entertainment Weekly Owen Gleiberman
The dialogue veers into digressions about ADHD, the cruddiness of mainstream dog food, and much else. That these asides prove more fun than the central action is what gives Hit & Run its flavor: tasty at times, even if the film evaporates as you watch it.

The Hollywood Reporter John DeFore
Its high-octane but low-stakes action might be just the thing for moviegoers weary of summer's operatic superheroes.

Everyone in Hit and Run is clearly having a good time. It's the audience that gets left out of the fun.

San Francisco Chronicle Peter Hartlaub
Pretty much everything shot by Shepard and co-director David Palmer looks as if it was done in one take. Hit & Run is closest in tone to the Tarantino-penned "True Romance," but it lacks that movie's menace.

Rolling Stone Peter Travers
This slapstick road movie feels tossed off by people on a raunchy bender. I mean that as a good thing. The trouble with Hit & Run is that it can't sustain its trippy effervescence.

One senses that the movie doesn't quite have the chutzpah to be what it wants to be - a "Fast and Furious"-like sequence of balletic car chases - so it periodically halts to wedge in some romance.

New York Daily News Joe Neumaier
Sadly, Hit & Run, for as much sporadic fun and genuine heart it has, runs out of gas. But it's not for lack of trying, and that counts for something.

Philadelphia Inquirer David Hiltbrand
Hit & Run is a pleasant enough diversion - but more of the PPV persuasion.
