V.I Warshawski is an acceptable matinee entertainment, much more fluid than the usual telefilms within this genre. [Full review in Spanish]

Kanew, who injected some imagination into the campus comedy routine with Revenge of the Nerds, can't manage the same with the gumshoe genre.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Jun 24, 2021

Turner's Warshawski is bitingly hilarious, brazenly sexy, and always the smartest one in the room.

...one's interest in V.I. Warshawski is almost entirely dependent on one's tolerance for Turner's work...

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jun 17, 2015

Turner, with her leonine sexiness, remains a radiantly adult actress. She deserves better than this kid-stuff thriller.

| Original Score: C- | Sep 7, 2011

Turner wants to play up Warshawski's detective instincts while Disney would rather ogle with the intensity of a Mormon, unsure how to successfully launch a franchise like this without alienating male audiences.

| Original Score: C+ | Jul 26, 2011

Not good.

As inelegant as its title.

"V. I. Warshawski" has a breezy style and a serviceable, even surprising detective plot. And it has Ms. Turner, who makes the most of V. I. Warshawski's sardonic humor.

It's okay. It's not great. It kills time.
