Orlando Sentinel
I am not going to try to tell you that this one-joke, talking-horse comedy is, in any meaningful sense, a good movie. What I am going to say is that it's a little better than my rock-bottom expectations led me to predict. - 30
Los Angeles Times
A movie to make ninnies whinny, audiences gag and horses hide their heads. - 30
The New York Times
Although Michael Dinner's direction is noticeably better than the material, the film aims consistently for the lowest common denominator. - 25
Chicago Tribune
It's true that there has been a shocking dearth of talking-horse pictures lately, but even so, Hot to Trot has few pleasures to offer. - 25
Washington Post
Hot to Trot is an unbridled disaster, a screwball horseplay so lame you want to put it out of its misery. - 20
TV Guide Magazine
The old talking-animal routine gets a bit of an update in that this time the animal is vulgar and profane in a way Mr. Ed or Francis the Talking Mule would never have been. But that's about the extent of the inventiveness in this unfunny comedy. - 0
Miami Herald
Hot to Trot is such a poorly executed comedy it boggles the mind. Even a horse's mind. [31 Aug 1988, p.D3]
