AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

Jenna Walter The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Geeky Randy After numerous breakups over what his friends and family consider shallow and a way to avoid commitment, the hard-to-please aspiring poet Mike Myers finally finds himself the perfect match in Nancy Travis... there's only one flaw... she might be an axe murderer! Very Mike Myers humor with lots of buddy comedians in supporting roles or cameos, all taking place in a so-very-'90s San Francisco—this film only works because all the pieces fall into the right place. Surprisingly light-hearted given its title, only getting dark in the third act. Killer (pun?) soundtrack. Travis actually cut off the tip of her finger during a scene at the butcher shop.★★★ (out of four)

MatthewMilliken This film is in there with my all-time favourite comedies. From the brilliant opening scene all of the way through to the end I was hooked and have now seen it several times since. Mike Myers is hilarious, this is up there with his Austin Powers for brute comedy force. Loads of classic lines and Myers even plays his own dad, even though his Scottish accent isn't particularly up to scratch this character is equally hilarious. Also, watch out for Brenda Fricker who plays his mother, such good casting.The acting is as good as it needs to be, solid from all of the cast, no weak links. The script is the anchor and Myers uses it brilliantly to sculpt out some fine characters and drives this film into comedy gold.OK, so it's not stuff of legend like Monty Python and Ghostbusters but I personally rate it just as highly. If I'm totally honest, if you don't laugh all of the way through this then there's something wrong with you. Watch it, and watch it again! Also, you'll never get The La's - There She Goes out of your head for months. Fair warning.

Robert J. Maxwell The title is kind of emblematic of the entire film. "So I Married An Axe Murderer." We can visualize the minimal shrug that goes with it. It's a statement that befouls any logic. If you marry an axe murderer, you should be anything but casual and resigned. But the title suggests a lot of funny events and assumptions without being in itself funny.It has an A cast. Mike Myers is a young man in San Francisco, an admirer of the Beat poets, who's always found reasons not to marry any of the girls he dates. Myers plays his own father too, with an outrageous Scottish accent which he uses as an instrument of vituperation. One of his sons has a head of hair so voluminous that it turns his head into "a virtual planetoid. It has its own weather system!"Myers meets Nancy Travis, a local butcher, and they wind up married. She acts kooky at times, while he comes across more and more hints that she is the notorious axe murderer who has disposed of four husbands by the usual means used by notorious axe murderers. It all leads to a perilous chase across the roof tops of their remote honeymoon motel, which looks like a haunted old mansion. The writer, Robbie Fox, gets off a lot of cracks about Hollywood conventions, some good, some routine. In some ways, the most impressive of these (and it may have been unwitting) is when Nancy Travis has just taken a bath in the mysterious hotel and wants to check her face in the fogged-up mirror over the sink. So she clears a spot. And do you know who we see standing behind Travis in the reflection? Absolutely nobody.Travis is oddly beautiful, with a wide face, broad smile, eyebrows that would have to look up the word "curve" in the dictionary, and a sassy figure that, alas, we see too little of. Gee, she looks good. Any normal man would have been proud to be seen standing behind her in that mirror.There are amusing moments, including Charles Grodin as an uncooperative motorist and Phil Hartman as a self-important Park Service employee. The problem is that the laughs are scattered throughout a screenplay that doesn't itself promote amusing situations and the laughter that should follow. (For an example of a truly well-integrated comedy plot with embedded comic moments, I offer "Some Like It Hot.") Myers is kicked in the family jewels and makes a twisted face. A good five-second laugh, but then what? Nothing much. He has to have the same part of his anatomy assaulted again a minute later. Another five-seconds, and we're back to a frenzied pursuit. It's not a bad movie, not insulting in any way, and Myers and the other players are quite good, but it would have been nice had more effort been put into blending the jokes into the narrative instead of making them stand-alone gags, like Myers' reading poetry to a jazz group

Sirus_the_Virus Mike Myers stars in his best movie ever, So I married an axe murderer. I really wish I had this movie on DVD. Mike Myers has done some great movies, but none have ever lived up to So I married an axe murderer. This is a Mike Myers comedy that doesn't have all that many fart jokes. Not much obvious humor. This is a Mike Myers comedy I would like to see more of in the future.The movie is about a guy named Charlie(Mike Myers). One day he meets a butcher named Harriet(Nancy Travis) and they eventually get married. But while they are dating he has suspicions about her. All of her past lovers have been murdered. This movie is so good for many reason. I really wish Mike Myers can go back to doing comedies like this because after seeing The Love Guru, I lost all hope in Mike Myers. But I saw this movie for the first time in years recently, and I thought"These were the days when Mike Myers actually did good stuff".So I married an axe murderer:****/****
