Rolling Stone
On film, Bonfire achieves a consistency of ineptitude rare even in this era of over-inflated cinematic air bags.

TV Guide
Reduced to pure plot, the narrative is not so much a sendup of 1980s hypocrisy as an orgy of banal, juvenile mean-spiritedness. The irony of Wolfe's book becomes shrill, screaming sarcasm, unpleasant, and, worse, unfunny.

Reel Film Reviews
It's ultimately not difficult to see why The Bonfire of the Vanities was (and still is) regarded as an epic big-budget bomb...

What a mess.

Chicago Tribune
The film was cast wrong and written shallowly.

Philadelphia Daily News
Tom Wolfe's widely read satire becomes a tedious farce, turning one of the year's most anticipated movies into one of the most disappointing.

Seattle Times
If you loved Wolfe's book, you may very well hate the movie. If you simply liked the novel, you may be simultaneously entertained and disappointed by what De Palma and Cristofer have done to it.

Los Angeles Times
Certainly Wolfe's canvas might lend itself to a broad approach, but broad like Dr. Strangelove, not broad like the Three Stooges.

Film4
In this heavy-handed and uneven treatment, De Palma drains Tom Wolfe's original story of its humour, and must shoulder the blame for its failure.

People Magazine
Brian DePalma lapses into idle, slapsticky digressions. You don't get angry at what he's attacking, or defensive; you just get weary.

Orlando Sentinel
If you're interested in a faithful visual adaptation of Wolfe's novel, be assured that this isn't it.
