- 25Chicago TribuneChicago TribuneFor the most part, The Gold Diggers is not even chuckle-producing. At best, it might warm a cockle or two or provoke a bit of a smile.
- 25New York Daily NewsNew York Daily NewsIt all makes Nat Lamp's recent "Van Wilder" look like an instant classic.
- 25Boston GlobeJanice PageBoston GlobeJanice PagePut it this way: National Lampoon's Gold Diggers makes "The Anna Nicole Show" look sophisticated.
- A one-gag movie and that one gag isn't funny. Taylor and Lasser are reduced to playing sex-starved Norma Desmonds, and while Friedle and Owen are certainly game, their plan is a waste of everyone's time, especially the audience's.
- 0L.A. WeeklyL.A. WeeklyA May-September sex farce so prodigiously unintriguing that audiences could be forgiven for stampeding from theaters to strangle its writer-director, Gary Preisler, in his sleep.
- 0Seattle Post-IntelligencerSean AxmakerSeattle Post-IntelligencerSean AxmakerLess offensive than embarrassing, at least for the chagrined performers.
- So stupefyingly hideous that after watching it, you'll need to bathe in 10 gallons of disinfectant, get a full-body scrub and shampoo with vinegar to remove the scummy residue that remains.
- 0Chicago ReaderHank SartinChicago ReaderHank SartinNothing's quite so painful as failed comedy, and this atrocity is equivalent to a compound fracture.
- 0New York PostLou LumenickNew York PostLou LumenickCertainly the most painfully unfunny of the countless bad movies that have licensed the name of the long-defunct humor magazine.
- 0San Francisco ChronicleSan Francisco ChronicleA movie so filled with contemptible, ugly and unfunny characters that it is physically difficult to watch.
