Chicago Sun-Times (Roger Ebert)
The movie press agents have a theory that critics shouldn't be allowed to see a comedy-in a screening room. Unless they can hear the people laughing, the theory goes, they won't know the ...read the complete Cactus Flower movie review at Chicago Sun-Times (Roger Ebert)
DVD Talk (Holly E. Ordway)
Cactus Flower is a treat: an enjoyable, funny, energetic, and well-made comedy. Like Ingrid Bergman herself, the film has aged very well, and has enough substance to it to merit repeat viewing; I'd definitely recommend picking up a copy. ...read the complete Cactus Flower movie review at DVD Talk (Holly E.

Ever want to see Ingrid Bergman in a romantic comedy? Now's your chance -- Cactus Flower is probably her most lighthearted role, but the poor girl's comic timing is below par, worse than Goldie Hawn's dramatic abilities.

As other reviewers have said, Leonard Maltin is absolutely wrong about this film. The comedy is very tight and well timed. The dialogue is the wittiest of any movie I've seen from the era. It does tend a little toward one-liners, but it doesn't matter ...

This comedy is not thin. It has absolutely no sag, a good and actually believable storyline, likable and believable characters, great acting, and it's very funny. This is what they mean when they say they don't make comedies like this anymore. Written ...

When I first saw Cactus Flower I was 13 and because of this movie I became a devoted fan of Ingrid Bergman. Now I'm 35 and still enjoy the film every time I see it. Ingrid was wonderful as the proper Sthepanie ...
