Editorial Reviews "...There are no whoopee cushions in NUNS ON THE RUN, but there are the next best things for a movie: [Idle and Coltrane]....Very funny..." New York Times - p.C14 - Vincent Canby (03/16/1990)
"...Idle and Coltrane are masters of caricature....They generate a certain amount of laughter just waddling or tip-toeing across the screen. Casting them together is a sort of coup..." Los Angeles Times - Michael Wilmington (03/16/1990)
