Chicago Tribune Michael Wilmington
I laughed all the way through it.
New York Post Jonathan Foreman
Sometimes hilarious but mostly sitcom-esque geezer comedy.
USA Today Mike Clark
Often livens up stale material with disarming loopiness and zest.
Portland Oregonian Shawn Levy
Drowns in flat, clumsy and obvious direction.
Film.com Robert Horton
A pleasant surprise that The Crew offers up the charms it does.
Read Full Review >Miami Herald Howard Cohen
Amiable, sporadically amusing farce.
Dallas Observer Robert Wilonsky
For the large-type crowd, one that prefers to have its "dirty" clean and silly.
Read Full Review >Boston Globe Jay Carr
Dogged allegiance to blandness.
San Francisco Examiner Walter Addiego
Tired comedy.
TV Guide Steve Simels
Much better than you'd expect, largely thanks to an extremely game cast.
Read Full Review >Salon.com Stephanie Zacharek
It's sunny and cheerful without coming off as too saccharine.
Read Full Review >Chicago Reader Lisa Alspector
The acting--especially Dreyfuss's ability to roll with the mood swings--is impressive if not redemptive.
Read Full Review >Variety Joe Leydon
The sentimentality is gently but firmly restrained in a potentially treacly subplot.
Read Full Review >Chicago Sun-Times Roger Ebert
The Crew is all contrivance and we don't believe a minute of it.
Read Full Review >Philadelphia Inquirer Carrie Rickey
The "Golden Girls" with gats.
Mr. Showbiz Cody Clark
Fuhgeddaboutit.
Los Angeles Times John Anderson
So mild, so benign, its humiliation-to-vindication are so predictable and its old-folks jokes so feeble.
Read Full Review >Baltimore Sun Ann Hornaday
Fanaro's script never really hones in on the concept's potential.
Entertainment Weekly Lisa Schwarzbaum
Each man's shtick swells into a frenzy of overacting.
Read Full Review >Austin Chronicle Russell Smith
Most folks are just plain bored -- and I mean cross-eyed, wall-climbing, deep-down-to-the-molecular-level bored -- with this ubiquitous Endearing Wiseguys school of movie comedy.
Read Full Review >LA Weekly Chuck Wilson
There are moments that suggest the comedy that could have been.
Read Full Review >Washington Post Stephen Hunter
When a burning rat is the funniest thing in your movie, I think you're in big trouble, even in Miami.

Has that uniquely rare blend of great actors and bad acting.
