July 20, 2008Harriet Michaels: Do you actually like haggis?
Charlie Mackenzie: No, I think it's repellent in every way. In fact, I think most Scottish cuisine is based on a dare.
Mike Myers is the star of a fairly decent movie in terms of its story, but its made better due to the numerous c... read more -

July 4, 2007Weird black comedy with a strange bunch of characters. Mike Myers does his Scottish character act again. This movie was not too funny.

May 14, 2007Cute flick. Favorite quote: "I believe the entire Scottish diet was based on a dare."

February 4, 2007Mike Myers best flick. He was on the top of his game here. The comedy was great, the setting was perfect. I wish he would have made more like this instead of the Austin Powers flicks.

November 24, 2006Terrible name, but there are some great cameos from Alan Arkin, Charles Grodin and Myers himself as his own eccentric scottish dad. Runs out of steam after about half an hour though. Worth watching once (but only once.)

Myers pumps out a river of inventive shtick, but it doesn't cohere or connect; he seems less a character than a comedian doing couch time on a late-night talk show. Full Review

Janet Maslin, New York Times
The look of So I Married an Axe Murderer is crisply professional, and John Graysmark's production design provides an element of visual surprise. Full Review

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
Juggling mirth, romance and murder requires a deft touch -- think of Hitchcock's Trouble With Harry. Axe is a blunt instrument.

Hal Hinson, Washington Post
It doesn't help matters much that director Thomas Schlamme pays homage to great marital murder mysteries of the past, mostly because the attempts to borrow from the classics are so halfhearted. Full Review

One of the most lame comedy whodunnits ever to make it to the screen. Full Review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
A mediocre movie with a good one trapped inside. Full Review

Axe is not art by any means. It's often overly taken up with resolving itself. But Myers and others create an enjoyably loose, anti-slick feeling about the affair. Full Review

TV Guide's Movie Guide
Although Myers is a brilliant comic, any potential he has as a romantic lead remains unfulfilled. Full Review

Arkin and the late Hartman also provide memorable moments, while the film as a whole is good-natured enough to make up for its inconsistency. Full Review
