A comedy that can make you cry, Used People is the season's most pleasant surprise.

Rating: 3/5 --
Mastroianni and MacLaine are both fine, but the film is a little too cutesy for its own good.
Nitrate Online
Used People takes forever to get off the ground, then follows a predictable course. But in the end, like the vintage accordion that Joe teaches Swee' Pea to play, it squeezes some rich sentiments out of thin air.

Maclean's Magazine
An old-fashioned melodrama with equal doses of laughter and tears.

Used People tells the sort of romantic fable we would all like to believe in, but this is not the movie to make us believe in it.

Rating: C --
A soap opera with suds, this meller gives a bad name to the woman's picture in its story of a Jewish widow-matriarch and her dysfunctional family (mom, two problematic daughters), thrown off its shaken balance when Mastroianni's Italian charmer arrives
