If one ignores reason, High Heels hums along well enough as a crime caper.
What are people saying?
What are critics saying?
An entertaining chick pic for all ages and sexes.
L.A. Weekly by Hazel-Dawn Dumpert
Director Mel Smith (Bean) struggles to make up for the lack, clumsily juggling screwball dames and criminal elements, and trying to disguise the film's marked lack of vitality with split-screen tricks, jokey camera angles and a limp musical montage.
An enjoyable female buddy caper -- more "Outrageous Fortune" than "Thelma and Louise."
Los Angeles Times by Kevin Thomas
A broad and stale British crime comedy that wastes the considerable talent and presence of Minnie Driver.
New Times (L.A.) by Luke Y. Thompson
This movie is every bit the mess its title makes it sound.
Seattle Post-Intelligencer by William Arnold
It is a foul-mouthed British underworld comedy so they may be hoping it will attract the hip audience of films like "Snatch" and "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels."
