Critic Reviews
-
Andrew Sarris, New York Observer
[De Niro and Crystal] would seem to be perfectly cast as this oddest of odd couples, but something has gone wrong with the comic chemistry.
-
Jeff Millar, Houston Chronicle
What De Niro ends up doing is simply burlesquing himself, much as he would do if he were guest-hosting Saturday Night Live.
-
Peter Rainer, New York Magazine
What we learn -- yet again -- is that potentially terrific comedies are often whacked by filmmakers who feel the need to spread a little therapy themselves.
-
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
Moments and lines are so perfect that they linger in the mind.
-
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
It's a treat to watch Robert De Niro -- the goodfella supreme -- tweak every gangster role he's ever played.
