Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
It's a shame, then, that Straight-Jacket turns dour and melodramatic ... The light-hearted fun seeps out of the movie, replaced by trite interludes of coming-out angst, McCarthy-era persecution and even gay-bashing.
– Rene Rodriguez,
Miami Herald,
14 Jan 2005
rotten:
It has verve, color and energy, but there's something fundamentally bogus about it, and whenever it takes a turn into seriousness, entire moments fall apart.
– Mick LaSalle,
San Francisco Chronicle,
7 Jan 2005
fresh:
Day's pyrotechnic dialogue and instinctive comic timing make Straight-Jacket a delight.
– Robert K. Elder,
Chicago Tribune,
6 Jan 2005
fresh:
A fey and frisky farce with a fabulous fashion sense.
– Joe Leydon,
Variety,
23 Dec 2004
rotten:
Wastes its promising premise with a wavering tone that veers uneasily between camp humor and, pardon the expression, straightness.
