Whether you live in Brooklyn or not, Blue in the Face is tons of fun.

RTChicago Sun-TimesJan 1, 2000

Blue in the Face is more of a footnote. The best thing about it is the spirit that brought it into being, and the love of film that it reflects.

RTFilm FrenzySep 9, 2025

A massive disappointment, as inconsequential and forgettable as Smoke was influential and memorable.

RTTV GuideJan 30, 2019

It feels less like a movie than a lost episode of the old Steve Allen or Jack Paar late-night chat shows.
