Barefoot in the Park Ratings & Reviews
The New Yorker
Pauline Kael
You can still feel the stage origins of this material and the director, Gene Saks, leaves pauses for laughs that don't come. But, at least, it's livelier than Fonda's 1966 picture Any Wednesday.
Toledo Blade
Lee Steele
Barefoot in the Park has much to recommend it, especially the revealingly human scenes that demonstrate only too well how simple it is for a tender moment to disintegrate into tension.
New York Daily News
Wanda Hale
Gene Saks, an excellent comedy director, is skilled and imaginative, and his players are responsive to his suggestions for getting the most from humorous lines and situations.
Austin American-Statesman
John Bustin
Just about everything Barefoot in the Park is right, though, and it all works together to provide a wonderful evening, refredshingly free the leering, double-entendre brand of sex farce but refreshingly witty in its humor.
Charlotte Observer
Dick Banks
Definitely one of the best movies of the summer, Barefoot squeezes delightful footage out of the connubial conflicts of pixie bride Jane Fonda and her comparatively sober lawyer-husband Robert Redford.
Baltimore Sun
R.H. Gardner
Mr. Simon, taking advantage of the more flexible medium, has bolstered them with a lot of new material; and this, added to the engaging performances of the excellent cast, have so strengthened the impact of the whole.

Elston Brooks
Barefoot in the Park, a comic delight on the stage, is at least three times funnier on the screen, and has to rank with How to Succeed as the best movie comedy of the year.
Miami Herald
George Bourke
Rather a glim premise -- and an overworked one -- but playwright Neil Simon has festooned the thin line with a veritable daisy chain of rollicking situations and gag lines that make a frolicsome matter of it.
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
Win Fanning
Intelligently "opened out" to include incidents only mentioned in the stage version, this delightful comedy has all the lightness of a feathered and brings to the theater audience the same comfortable feeling that all is well with the world.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Barbara L. Wilson
Not that the film version of this Neil Simon comedy hit... doesn't have its moments. But the illusion created in the theatrical production which was so essential to the play's effectiveness has been lost on screen.
Los Angeles Times
Charles Champlin
A certain kind of comedy, like a fine soufflé, defies logic , and gravity and rides fragilely on a cushion of airy inconsequence. Accept Neil Simon's recipe for a soufflé comedy... and [Barefoot in the Park] works out very nicely indeed.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Myles Standish
It is as hilarious and pleasantly zany a farce as it was in the howling stage success by Neil Simon, who also did the script for the film.
Chicago Tribune
Clifford Terry
The real star of this fast-paced comedy is the Simon-pure script, which exaggerates newlywed nuances -- the false fights, the sarcastic oneupsman ships, the smoothings -- over to the point of hilarity but not absurdity.
Boston Globe
George McKinnon
On its own terms, [Barefoot in the Park] is one of the better Hollywood film comedies and will provide an enjoyable Summer evening. But going from the stage to screen the comedy loses some of the bite that made the play so entertaining.
Village Voice
Andrew Sarris
The movie is full of physical details that I found impossible to believe.
TIME Magazine
TIME Staff
Barefoot in the Park is one of the few plays to be reincarnated on-screen while playing on the Broadway stage. Happily, it loses little in transition.
Variety
Variety Staff
Barefoot in the Park is one howl of a picture.
New York Times
Bosley Crowther
Beware, if you're inclined to be slightly mature about sex or have a reasonable disposition to expect a degree of finished craftsmanship.
Movie Mom
Nell Minow
Dated but delightful.
Chicago Reader
Dave Kehr
Nothing special, but it's a decent example of a vanished genre - the small character comedy.
