    Chicago Tribune Dave Kehr

    Class Action occupies itself with long passages of family melodrama, most of it as familiar as the courtroom drama but far less entertaining. [15 Mar 1991]

    The New York Times Vincent Canby

    Class Action won't put you to sleep. Yet it vanishes from the memory as fast as anything dreamed in the conventional manner.

    Chicago Sun-Times Roger Ebert

    The screenplay by Carolyn Shelby, Christopher Ames and Samantha Shad contains dialogue scenes so well-heard and written it's hard to believe this is a Hollywood movie, with Hollywood's tendency to have characters underline every emotion so the audience won't have to listen so carefully.

    Class Action s good, chewy entertainment, part courtroom pyrotechnics, part Machiavellian legal maneuvers. [15 Mar 1991]
