March 5, 2007Another forgettable chapter in Tom Selleck's film non-career. Allegedly comic mystery in which he supplies a beautiful stranger with a fake alibi and we try very hard to care.

A romantic melodrama of a boringness to make your average tooth extraction seem preferable. Full Review

Rita Kempley, Washington Post
Screenwriter Charlie Peters is the predictable piggy whose arrested pubescence informs Her Alibi. When it comes to imagination, he has much in common with his hero. Full Review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
You know a movie is in trouble when you start looking at your watch. You know it's in bad trouble when you start shaking your watch because you think it might have stopped. Full Review
