Critics Consensus: Peggy Sue Got Married may seem just another in a line of '80s boomer nostalgia films, but none of the others have Kathleen Turner keen lead performance.

Reviews

Chicago Reader

Kathleen Sachs

What if Jesus had thwarted crucifixion? What if Peggy Sue could go back in time and not marry her adulterous husband? The same predicament, really.

What lingers are the quieter, actorly moments...

In arguably the most humanistic work of his career, Coppola forgoes the epic in favor of the personal.

...an affable yet somewhat forgettable endeavor predominantly dominated by cookie-cutter elements...

Even if it falls apart a bit at the end, it is basically a well-crafted and entertaining film. But I cannot help but be distressed by the fact that... the female time-traveler is passive in and little enriched by her re-exploration of the past.
