	Media	Author	Review
		Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"My problems with 'Cadillac Man' were probably inspired more by false expectations than by anything on the screen (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"
		Vincent Canby The New York Times	"The movie is carried entirely by the performers (...) Because of the clumsiness of the writing and the direction, though, the character of Joey O'Brien is more often obscured by the movie than revealed by it"
		Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"Williams is an actor of protean gifts (...) But even he can’t palm off this lemon as a peach. When it’s not being offensive, Ken Friedman’s screenplay is merely oafish."
		Hal Hinson The Washington Post	"[It] is coarse and haphazardly engineered and never more than intermittently funny. But Williams is a resourceful, invigorating performer"
		William Thomas Empire	"Robin Williams is surprisingly unfunny (...) [The film is] even worse than it sounds (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
		Owen Gleiberman Entertainment Weekly	"[It] is mildly amusing (...) If 'Cadillac Man' feels a little thin, that’s because it’s barely a movie: It’s just one pressure-cooker situation stretched out to feature length"
		Nigel Floyd Time Out	"Williams is funny and convincing; but once he starts getting dewy-eyed and sincere, flesh-crawling embarrassment takes over."
