DVD Clinic ("JoBlo")
A very classy, sophisticated gentleman makes a habit of swindling rich ladies of their money whenever they pass through the quaint little French town in which he lives. One day, an uncouth, loud American con artist comes upon his turf and decides to ...read the complete Dirty Rotten Scoundrels movie review at DVD Clinic ("JoBlo")

An out-and-out comedy with plenty of laugh-out-loud moments and a cracking lead duo. ...read the complete Dirty Rotten Scoundrels movie review at Movie Gazette (Gary Panton)

Not among the most remarkable films thirteen years ago, DIRTY ROTTEN SCOUNDRELS looks surprisingly good from today's perspective. The reason is probably in the humour, which is way above the today's Hollywood standards of comedy embodied in the films by ...read the complete Dirty Rotten Scoundrels movie review at Dragan Antulov

One's got a sophisticated, suave and debonair con act. The other's got…well, an act. Together, Steve Martin and Michael Caine are Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, and they're absolutely ruining the Riviera in this "hilarious battle of wits and double-crosses" ...read the complete Dirty Rotten Scoundrels movie review at DVD MovieGuide
Chicago Sun-Times (Roger Ebert)
There's something about the very words "dirty rotten scoundrel" that makes being one OK. They evoke an earlier age of simpler evils, back before everyone was playing for keeps. And the ...read the complete Dirty Rotten Scoundrels movie review at Chicago Sun-Times (Roger Ebert)

Films on Disc (Stuart J. Kobak)
The battle for king of the hill in the French Riviera playground of Beamont sur Mer is sheer delight. Frank Oz's fleet-footed flick from a Dale Launer (My Cousin Vinny) script has more twists and turns than a French Riviera mountain road.

Apollo Movie Guide (John Brandon)
Two con-men – one high class (Michael Caine) and the other decidedly lowbrow (Steve Martin) join together on the French Riviera, only to enter into a winner-take-all competition to see who gets to stay and who must leave the area once and for all. ...read the complete Dirty Rotten Scoundrels movie review at Apollo Movie Guide (John Brandon)

Dirty Rotten Scoundels DVD on Blu-ray player goes occasionally goes black so keep you old DVD player to play this DVD. ...

A remarkably funny film, by the amazingly multi-talented Frank Oz (best known, though anonymously usually, for his Miss Piggy). Will have you laughing out ...
by Craig Connell on February 06, 2009
I really don't watch this movie often enough. The few times I've seen it over the years provide superior entertainment, but it's a film I seem to forget about. That shouldn't be the case: it's a terrific movie.
I've never met anyone who did NOT like ...

What can I say? This movie is a classic. I probably should have waited for BluRay, but I had a relative who wanted it on DVD for Christmas. Awesome movie. Watch it. ...

So funny, so good. You can't go wrong with Steve Martin & Michael Caine. My favorite character is Ruprect. ...
by L. Cameron on January 12, 2008
Steve Martin was all about the painfully obvious humor. Michael Caine is so much a stuffed shirt.
What they have together here, however, is damned funny. I must have seen this better than a dozen times now but there are still laughs throughout. It's ...
by Paul Dsouza on November 14, 2007
This is by far the funniest film that I have ever seen. What's more, you can see it several times and still laugh each time!! Steve Martin (Freddy) and Michael Caine are just so completely unlike one another. One's rough, loud, unsophisticated, oily. The ...
by D. R. Markel on October 09, 2007
This movie has all the classic elements - setting (French Riviera), actors (Martin and Caine), plot (twists galore), sohistication (how to really put one over on the rich) and COMEDY (oh, so many levels). Martin and Caine play so well together it is ...
by Sam P. Morgan Jr. on September 13, 2007
My wife and I both love this movie and have watched it a number of times. We even use some of the terms from the movie such as "Oklahoma, Oklahoma" when we see someone acting screwey. The movie is a remake of an older version with David Nivin and Marlon ...
by Ian A. Bell on July 26, 2007
Any movie in which Michael Caine, a doddering fart at the best of times, comes off as rip-roaringly funny without telling a single joke has got to be well-written. As such, this Michael Caine movie serves as an effective antidote to most other Michael ...
