Reception
[edit]In his book Australian Film, 1978-1994 Scott Murray calls it "an often amusing tale of stereotyped sex roles and one woman's desire to change things."[3] Penny Davies, in a review in Filmnews concludes "Australian comedy has never looked so good - Warming Up is a lot of fun."[1] Judith Fox from the Sydney Morning Herald gave it a mixed review and noted "The story is signposted, the situations stereotyped and the humour warm and runny."[4]
