Stakeout Ratings & Reviews
Variety
Variety Staff
Slick, sure-footed entertainment, one part buddy comedy and one part police actioner stitched together with a dash of romance.
Classic Film and Television
Michael E. Grost
Dullsville
Juicy Cerebellum
Alex Sandell
Beats the Lethal Weapon movies at their own game.
Nolan's Pop Culture Review
Michael A. Smith
Dreyfuss and Estevez have true comedic chemistry.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Enough sophomoric jokes about sex to keep it pleasingly diverting.
New York Times
Walter Goodman
The director uses the conventions of the action-comedy in so adroit a way that you may even forget the hundred other films you've seen lately about a couple of cops kidding around with each other in between battling the bad guys.
KFOR Channel 4 News (Oklahoma City)
Blake Davis
One of the better buddy films from the 1980's.
Flipside Movie Emporium
Rob Vaux
An adequately wacky cops-and-robbers caper. Sharp dialogue and good chemistry between the actors make up for its routine plot twists.
Moviehole
Caffeinated Clint
One of the best action comedy films to date. Estevez and Dreyfuss are the ultimate duo.
Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN)
Bob Bloom
An OK cop-buddy film; nothing special here. Not one of Badham's best.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Dreyfuss and his style are the two best things in "Stakeout," a movie that consists of a good idea surrounded by a bad one.
Washington Post
Rita Kempley
You might want to stake out a theater near you.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
A mature human farce that values characters' foibles over their firearms.
