- 75Entertainment WeeklyEntertainment WeeklyThere’s a weird, hedonistic thrill to seeing an entire movie filled with jokes this cheap, including gags about PMS, Sean Penn, and a Tammy Faye Bakker type (who hosts a show called Exorcism Tonight).
- 63Orlando SentinelOrlando SentinelRepossessed sounded like a great idea: Leslie Nielsen performs an exorcism on Linda Blair. But it's one of those flicks that can't decide whether it wants to be a pure-dee Naked Gun rip-off with 9,000 sight gags or have a real honest-to-God comedy plot. It's got some horse laughs in it, but you keep going "Shouldn't I be laughing again by now?" [19 Oct 1990, p.13]
- For a movie seemingly written and directed by sophomore-year film students, Repossessed offers a number of laughs. Five. But it mainly demonstrates that Nielsen is at his best when leaving production duties to professionals.
- 40Time OutTime OutWorth a few cheap pubescent laughs, but Exorcist fans will doubtless feel cheated.
- 38The Seattle TimesJohn HartlThe Seattle TimesJohn HartlLinda Blair and Leslie Nielsen deserve better than the scattershot script for Repossessed, a desperate spoof of The Exorcist that generates perhaps two belly laughs, three well-earned smiles and about 287 groaners. [29 Sep 1990, p.B7]
- The only really good thing that can be said about REPOSSESSED is that it makes Exorcist II look like a classic. To hell with it.
- 0Los Angeles TimesMichael WilmingtonLos Angeles TimesMichael WilmingtonIs this a bad movie? Is the sky blue? Short of repeating all 237 or so of its incredibly limp jokes there's no way to convey how completely Repossessed goes awry. On and on they come, endlessly: like a blizzard of stale pork rinds. [17 Sep 1990, p.F2]
