Danny Dyer stars in excruciating Brit comedy
Beyond the excruciatingly dated comedy, Run For Your Wife also stumbles by being about as visually ambitious as a cheap ITV sitcom.
Simon Reynolds, Digital Spy, 14th February 2013Film review: Run for Your Wife (12A)
Woah. Ray Cooney's decision to make a feature film at the age of 80 is plucky, to say the least. His 1983 farce, from which it is adapted, ran for nearly nine years in the West End and is still packing them in all over the world, but this transfer to the screen is pretty much a catastrophe.
Anthony Quinn, The Independent, 14th February 2013Run For Your Wife review
Ray Cooney's best-of-British bigamist caper is a woeful piece of cinema, even while Danny Dyer makes for strangely charming lead.
Adam Lee, Little White Lies, 14th February 2013Run for Your Wife - review
The trouser-dropping 80s stage farce finally hits the big screen with Danny Dyer, to kill off any remaining British self-respect.
Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian, 14th February 2013Film review: 'Run for Your Wife'
A rewardless slog from start to finish, with some of the worst dialogue audible from an ensemble cast since - well, Movie 43 - Cooney and Luton's Run for Your Wife even fails to register as a tongue-in-cheek, 'so-bad-that-it's-good' guilty pleasure. Replacing the term 'dire' with 'Dyer' as a dismissive adjective to describe the film would, to give you some idea, be considered scabrous, Wildean wit in comparison to most of the bottom-rung humour offered up by this irredeemable British affair.
Cine-Vue, 14th February 2013Review: Run for Your Wife
Hopelessly dated and poorly executed comedy starring Danny Dyer.
