Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Eat the Rich looks deceptively haphazard, though keeping this sort of comedy on-target takes discipline, a willingness to throw out a lot of material before finding the stuff that works.

rotten:
It feels like punk on the downward swing, after most of its rude energy has dissipated.
– Hal Hinson,

rotten:
Although writers Peter Richardson and Pete Richens have a flair for one-liners and recasting comic British standbys (rich, poor, twit, villain, big-breasted, dark-skinned), they strain so hard to be funny, you wish they'd relax.

rotten:
The cannibalism metaphor that eventually becomes prominent seems to have been arrived at mechanically.

Make what you will of the politics, as a series of sketches it delivers the laughs.
