Critics consensus

“A film whose title offers words to live by as well as a warning, See No Evil, Hear No Evil proves that even a brilliant comedy duo can team up for an unfunny dud.”

This dubious concept might have worked if someone had written something funny for either comic actor to say.

"No Evil, Hear No Evil" leaves us hoping we haven't seen the of Wally and Dave.

RTChicago ReaderMar 27, 2019

This tasteless, formulaic, mainly unfunny, but otherwise harmless romp was scripted by five people and is served up like meat and potatoes by hack director Arthur Hiller.

It's a hoot watching Pryor and Wilder bounce off each other. They definitely carry a so-so script. [Full review in Spanish]
