The Daily Gazette (Schenectady, NY)

Dan DiNicola

It's not that the film is awful or offensive; it simply does not have the imagination, wit or energy to carry us into its world and make us laugh, fret and forget.

...an entirely disposable endeavor that's rightly fallen into obscurity in the years since its release.

It has a grand total of four genuinely funny moments, most of which are shown for free in the TV commercial.

There's no excuse for Her Alibi. It inspires oceans of sympathy for Tom Selleck, who seems a nice guy and doesn't deserve to be lumbered by the ineptness of this enterprise.

He's a mystery writer, she's a mystery; and it's also a mystery how TV fodder like this manages to get the high-gloss, top-talent treatment at studios.
