- 80VarietyEmanuel LevyVarietyEmanuel LevyThe most amazing thing about Another Stakeout is that even though some of its skits are dopey and cloying and its plot recycled and derivative, the movie is still very amusing.
- 75Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertChicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertThis one holds its flavor better than most.
- Amiably undemanding...Exhausted though the action-cop-buddy-comedy genre is, Another Stakeout manages to be fairly entertaining.
- 63The Seattle TimesJeff ShannonThe Seattle TimesJeff ShannonHad the movie surrounding this easygoing trio been more memorable, the possibility of "Yet Another Stakeout" might actually be appealing.
- 60EmpireAngie ErrigoEmpireAngie ErrigoA typical 90's comedy featuring staples Richard Dreyfuss and Emilio Estevez who re-hash their 'cheeky cops' schtick from the first picture and are now joined by O'Donnell who tries to inject more humour allowing us to forgive the lack of an engaging story. Sadly this is where all three fail.
- 60Los Angeles TimesMichael WilmingtonLos Angeles TimesMichael WilmingtonThe boys are breezy; their companions glib and glittery. This big studio mix of bang-bang and badinage isn’t really a bad movie. But a lot of it suggests a fancy misfire: a super-powered evening at the town’s most expensive eatery, where everybody starts out psyched up to have Big Fun, and things start to slide. What happens? The food disappears. The music is too loud. The conversations are brittle, the jokes are pushed too hard, everyone laughs too much. And, at the end, in case your attention starts wandering, people start pulling out guns and killing each other.
- 50Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanEntertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanThere’s one funny bit in Another Stakeout — a dysfunctional dinner party — but director John Badham puts more energy into high-tech chase sequences featuring the neighborhood pets than he does into refining the comic chemistry of his stars.
- 50The New York TimesVincent CanbyThe New York TimesVincent CanbyAnother Stakeout is made for the kind of person whom television drives out of the house to the movies but who doesn't want surprises when he arrives at the theater. It's big-screen television fare.
- 40Time OutTime OutThere are explosions, car chases, a climactic shoot-out, and a comic dog. Comedy and suspense sensibly packaged; but very old hat.
- 30Austin ChronicleMarc SavlovAustin ChronicleMarc SavlovLike last year's "Lethal Weapon 3" -- another ridiculously uninspired sequel -- Another Stakeout starts with a terrific bang and goes nowhere fast.
