Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
The film's major difficulty is the screenplay by Jane Wagner.

rotten:
What's really incredible is how far this film goes to avoid the ideas, feminist and otherwise, embedded in its premise.

rotten:
The Incredible Shrinking Woman is not inane, is sometimes wickedly knowing, and is only periodically boring.
– Roger Ebert,
Chicago Sun-Times,

rotten:
Good intentions and one's own goodwill are soon diminished as script and direction conspire to render a sitcom satire that's indistinguishable from its target.
