Nuns on the Run Ratings & Reviews
Entertainment Weekly
Ira Robbins
An anemic romp dispiritingly akin to the obsolete comedies the Pythons once pushed aside.
Miami Herald
Ryan Murphy
The crime-tinged subplot is essentially bare bones, the barrage of batty British one-liners a lackluster hash.
Chicago Tribune
Gene Siskel
The script`s imagination seems to have ended with the sight of men in religious women`s clothing.
Variety
Variety Staff
The constant double entendres are done with wit and the slapstick is mostly agreeable and efficiently directed, although the sight gags about Camille Coduri's extreme myopia are pushed a little far on occasion.
Reel Film Reviews
David Nusair
...a disastrously unfunny mess.
Capital Times (Madison, WI)
Rob Thomas
Pretty much a one-joke film, and the joke feels about 20 years old.
Spirituality & Practice
Mary Ann Brussat
The gags run the gamut from obvious to odious.
New York Times
Vincent Canby
''Nuns on the Run'' is a great leveler. It makes everyone in the audience feel a rascally 8 years old, the age at which whoopee cushions (when they work) seem the greatest invention since firecrackers.

Complete crap. Idle and Coltrane have both been much better.
Kalamazoo Gazette
James Sanford
"makes a habit of being unfunny"
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Why do filmmakers so often insist that nuns are funny? I'll bet there are some psychological reasons buried around here somewhere.
Washington Post
Rita Kempley
An irreverent drag act -- all conventional high jinks and Hail Mary gags -- as in let's get the fat guy stuck in the window, and Hail Mary, maybe somebody'll laugh.
