A lame Mob comedy, proving Piscopo is not movie material
Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN)
Rating: 1/5 --
Brian DePalma, who made some funny movies years ago, seems to have lost his touch.

Rating: 2.5/4 --
A mid-career faux pas, or the director's equivalent of the coruscating, laugh-stuck-in-your-throat dissonance of The King of Comedy?

A waste of celluloid.
Reeling Reviews
Rating: 3.5/4 --
Wise Guys is broad and farcical, but there's not a moment when Moe and Harry stop being lovable, or even believable.

It's tempting to dismiss "Wise Guys" as a pointless, ill-advised forebear to "Dumb and Dumber." But even if only for an act, you sense De Palma striving for more artful zaniness a la the Marx Brothers or a grimmer side of the Ealing Comedy spectrum.
