Editorial Review:
Amazon.com
Writer-director Nora Ephron hit a low point with this disappointingly dreary comedy set in a suicide clinic on Christmas Eve. The joke is supposed to be that all of the crisis counselors are themselves a pack of lovable losers, led by a badly toupeed Steve Martin. But it's a short step from lovable loser to annoying dweeb and most of the people in this movie cross that line very quickly. It's too bad, because the cast includes Madeline Kahn, Robert Klein, Rob Reiner, Garry Shandling, and Adam Sandler. Somehow, Ephron manages to restrain this lineup from doing anything funny. --Marshall Fine

4 out of 5 stars Mixed Nuts.......2007-01-21

This a wonderful bit of Christmas humor. Wrapped around all of the possible routine difficulties (eviction, unemployment, pregnancy, gender identification, perversion, legal, use of handguns) in an unlikely setting, it is indeed enjoyable. We first saw this film in the late 90's, and have also acquired a CD of songs from the show. We will watch it again next Christmas!

5 out of 5 stars very funny movie.......2007-01-18

This is a great Steve Martin comedy. You'll laugh all the way through it.

5 out of 5 stars Crazy humor.......2007-01-10

This movie has been a family favorite for years. It just gets funnier every year! You will recognize many stars that were not famous stars yet.
Try to find Jon Stewart, who has a couple cameo spots.

4 out of 5 stars laughs for the holidays!.......2007-01-07

The movie made my sister laugh which I haven't seen for quite awhile. I think it's some of the "quirky" characters in the movie and it's not the typical Christmas movie genre.

4 out of 5 stars Old School Good.......2006-01-31

An older film with a small budget, "Mixed Nuts" still has a lot to offer. Madeline Kahn, Juliet Lewis, Adam Sandler, and "Joe" from "Empire Records" all do an excellent job in supporting roles. This is a must see for all Steve Martin fans. The story takes place over the coarse of one day with several intertwining stories all ending as one. A different kind of funny.
