- 50San Francisco ChronicleSan Francisco ChronicleThe semiserious comedy by director Sven Pape is in its own category, and unfortunately it's not always an interesting one.
- 50TV Guide MagazineMaitland McDonaghTV Guide MagazineMaitland McDonaghEthan and Lenny's story is silly, good-natured and full of unlikely moves, just like the titular twister.
- 40L.A. WeeklyErnest HardyL.A. WeeklyErnest HardyThe film offers no new insights into its people or into the dynamics of the Hollywood machine -- the whole affair, played for low-intensity laughs, is numbingly familiar.
- In trying to qualify as mordant satire, charming rom-com, uplifting buddy movie about underdogs trying to stick it to the man and the most meta story ever told, L.A. Twister sprains itself badly.
- 38Boston GlobeJanice PageBoston GlobeJanice PageServes up a silly story and clunky dialogue that gets better than it deserves from Jennifer Aspen as Lenny's would-be girlfriend.
- 30Dallas ObserverDallas ObserverIt's the solipsistic, obvious, misogynistic, and occasionally redeeming tale.
- 10The New York TimesStephen HoldenThe New York TimesStephen HoldenBarely watchable.
