Rotten
Paul Mazursky's 14th film as director is a cozy, insular middle-aged marital comedy that's about as deep and rewarding as a day of mall-cruising.

Mazursky has returned with a vengeance to his special universe where the upper middle class is the only thing that exists, and this time he has absolutely nothing to say about it.
Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader
Rotten
Allen's admittedly funny lines get lost in the mess, and Midler, in relatively restrained mode, fades away altogether.
Wally Hammond, Time Out

Scenes From a Mall is a peculiar but, finally, very engaging comedy.
Vincent Canby, New York Times
Rotten
When a movie seems overflowing with interesting, colorful details, that is often a sign of desperation -- a way of saying, if the picture's no good, get a gaudier frame.
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
