Metacritic reviews

Here is a film that not only gives the charming Miss Andrews a chance to prove herself irresistible in a straight romantic comedy but also gets off some of the wildest brashest and funniest situations and cracks at the lunacy of warfare that have popped from the screen in quite some time.

Garner plays the scales of cynicism so gracefully in this anti-war gem, he makes them sound like a symphony.

The standout in the cast is Julie Andrews, whose quality of sexy chill has never been used as effectively.

Witty despite Hiller's direction.

The Americanization Of Emily is a very funny, modern-seeming film.

The Americanization of Emily is worth a look for its fine performances and dynamite writing.

Though a bit overstuffed with long-winded speeches, Chayefsky’s scabrously funny script brims with snappy, crackling dialogue.

Chayefsky's untempered windiness and direction (by Arthur Hiller) so impersonal that this D-day black comedy could just as well be an I Dream of Jeannie episode. [22 June 1990, p.3D]

Primarily interesting for the romance between Andrews and Garner.
