Washington PostDesson Thomson
This ensemble comedy has its inventively funny moments. But ultimately, it gets a little too cute for its own good. Read full review

Chicago ReaderJ.R. Jones
The climactic sight gag is lifted from Monicelli's movie like a diamond from a jeweler's window. Read full review

Village VoiceEd Park
An anti-"Rififi" in which nearly everybody loses their cool, not after the big score goes down but repeatedly and neurotically throughout. Read full review

L.A. WeeklyChuck Wilson
With a dream cast that also includes Patricia Clarkson and, in a cameo, a tattooed George Clooney, fullness of narrative may not have struck the filmmakers as key, and their film feels slight, as if it were an extended short, albeit one made by the smartest kids in class. Read full review

SalonCharles Taylor
A bigger problem is that since the movie is a straight remake that reprises many of the original's scenes, we have those scenes playing in our heads, and the Russos' execution just isn't up to Monicelli's. It's painful to see gags that worked so beautifully fall flat, or wither and die because of indifferent timing. Read full review
