    Chicago Tribune Gene Siskel

    Viewing UHF may be injurious to your sense of humor. Rarely has a comedy tried so hard and failed so often to be funny. [21 Jul 1989, p.A]

    Chicago Sun-Times Roger Ebert

    The result is a very unfunny movie. It's routine, predictable, and dumb - real dumb.

    Wall Street Journal Julie Salamon

    UHF, a parody of trash television, is almost defiantly silly, but when it's funny it is very funny. This sloppy, good-natured satire certainly doesn't threaten "Network's" status as the classic decimation of the television business. [27 Jul 1989, p.1]

    The New York Times Stephen Holden

    The movie is forever digressing so that Mr. Yankovic can offer media spoofs that have only the most tangential relation to the story. [22 Jul 1989, p.1.15]
