- 75TV Guide MagazineTV Guide MagazineBy turns sophisticated and satirical, SO FINE runs the comedy gamut from high camp to low farce.
- 70The New York TimesJanet MaslinThe New York TimesJanet MaslinIts comic episodes are nicely controlled, and the movie has a consistent zany style.
- 60NewsweekDavid AnsenNewsweekDavid AnsenIt's obviously a dangerously stretched premise, but writer-director Andrew Bergman keeps the plot rolling so fast you don't really mind. Bergman, who wrote "The InLaws" and "Blazing Saddles," mixes his comic punches well, from low slapstick to English-major jokes to Jewish social satire. [12 Oct 1981, p.99A]
- 40Time OutTime OutMost of the humour on display in this would-be screwball comedy has an inanity which follows suit with this central conceit.
- 40The New YorkerPauline KaelThe New YorkerPauline KaelThere are potentially funny scenes, but Bergman doesn't know how to give timing and polish to his own jokes.
- 10Washington PostTom ShalesWashington PostTom ShalesA manifest abomination on every measurable level, So Fine, the painfully threadbare comedy opening today at area theaters, is easily as transparent as the peekaboo jeans that give the film its nominal but squandered topicality. The film's only conceivable distinction is that it could be the worst that Ryan O'Neal has ever made, and that's saying something. [25 Sept 1981, p.C6]
