"A nervy, mostly successful reworking of Hitchcockian themes and devices."
PopMatters
Cynthia Fuchs
B
"It is a frightening tale, but it is done in such a humorous manner that you might not realize how twisted it is until you start making a body count."
Ozus' World Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
3/4
"A superb black comedy."
Slant Magazine
Ed Gonzalez
B
"A low-boiling suspense film that is made all the more creepy by masquerading as an 'unwelcome guest' comedy for an hour or so."

"A truly seductive thriller that wins you over with slyness and suspense."
One Guy's Opinion
Frank Swietek
3/4
"A more energetic and interesting entry than what one has come to expect from this overpopulated genre."
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
3/4
"The dramatic tensions and character fabrications are pure Hitchcock."
Palo Alto Weekly
Jeanne Aufmuth
"If Hitchcock were alive today, he'd probably be happy to see someone carrying on the tradition of entertaining viewers with well-crafted, if old-fashioned thrillers that play off the restraint-based notion that sometimes less is more."

John J. Puccio
B
"The ambiguity surrounding Harry's persona and motivations lets the air out of the film's climax."
Reeling Reviews
Laura Clifford
"If Hitchcock had made
What About Bob?
, this engrossing and blackly funny French psychological thriller would be it."
Flick Filosopher
MaryAnn Johanson
3.5/4
"The disturbingly flip sense of humor maintained throughout gives the film's shocking twists an added edge of nastiness."
TheMovieReport.com
Michael Dequina
4/5
"Encourages yelling at the screen."
Goatdog's Movies
Michael W. Phillips, Jr.
2.5/4

Laramie Movie Scope
Robert Roten
B+
"One can't help but call on the ghost of Alfred Hitchcock to describe Dominik Moll's
With a Friend Like Harry
."
Seattle Post-Intelligencer
Sean Axmaker
"There's something about Harry, all right, and we can smell it all the way down the road - yet it is still a surprise when it finally manifests itself."
