Michael Wilmington Los Angeles Times 04/21/2015
Hot to Trot is a movie to make ninnies whinny, audiences gag and horses hide their heads. Go to Full Review Dave Kehr Chicago Tribune 04/21/2015
1/4
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. Go to Full Review Carrie Rickey Philadelphia Inquirer 04/21/2015
1/4
The humor is so low that it could justifiably be called subterranean. Go to Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews 03/14/2016

A justifiably notorious bomb... Go to Full Review TV Guide 04/21/2015
1/5
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. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

See more 07/23/2019 One of my all time favourite horse movies; it’s silly, but a lot of fun! See more 03/15/2019 Though this film has been poorly reviewed by critics in general, i believe that this film is better received by kids. Bobcat's schtick, and john candy's humor were popular in the 80s for a reason. Much the same way Jim Carrey's humor works. Verbal/physical comedy. It is a good movie for kids. It's cheesy in a way that kids can enjoy. Adults may not enjoy the humor as much, but I wouldn't say that it's their kind of film. I would strongly recommend this film for kids interested in comedy. For fans of Bobcat and fans of John Candy. If they like Spaceballs and/or Police Academy, it's a fun film. It's a campy, cheesy, fun film. Silly in a good way. See more Read all reviews
