Folks! Ratings & Reviews
Hartford Courant
Owen McNally
Folks! stinks! But Robert Klane's screenplay for this fatally flawed, off-beat, black-humored comedy does have some almost redeeming values.
People Magazine
People Staff
Don Ameche and Anne Jackson are the parents, and they both look absolutely miserable.
Seattle Times
Michael Upchurch
The film's appeal will depend largely on whether you feel like laughing at senile dementia and automobile accidents.
South Florida Sun-Sentinel
Roger Hurlburt
It is an unnecessarily cruel little film that attempts to evoke humor from the afflictions of old age, while using the bungling of an elderly parent to thrash a younger man into submission.
Chicago Tribune
Dave Kehr
[Director Kotcheff] treats material that might have been effective as dark, nightmare comedy as something bright, bouncy and frivolous, an approach that kills all the laughs and turns shock into mere tastelessness.
TV Guide
For the final third, we don't know whether to laugh at or be appalled by Selleck's attempts to murder a couple of old people by such methods as pushing them onto the highway in a gas-drenched Ford Pinto.
Los Angeles Times
Chris Willman
Klane has written this one as less of a slow burn, going instead for obnoxiously stunt-filled, madcap farce, all the way to the high-concept-reinforcing title exclamation point.
Variety
Lawrence Cohn
Marking severe career setbacks for Ameche and Selleck, Folks! represents an obvious miscalculation as to the low intelligence of the mass audience.

A comedy only Dr. Kevorkian could have loved.

Embarrassing from stem to stern
New York Times
Janet Maslin
It's not easy to fathom how Mr. Selleck or any other actor could have read this far in Robert Klane's screenplay and still decided to go full steam ahead.
Beach Reporter (Southern California)
Brian J. Arthurs
An embarassment to all involved
Austin Chronicle
Kathleen Maher
I would think sitting through this sort of thing would cause a little soul-searching in anyone. Don't let it happen to you.
Deseret News (Salt Lake City)
Chris Hicks
Folks! is a dreadful comedy about, of all things, Alzheimer's disease. And, just in case this isn't offensive enough, there's attempted suicide, matricide and patricide in the film's final third.
Washington Post
Rita Kempley
A romp about Alzheimer's? I mean, really.
