Chicago Tribune Michael Wilmington

I laughed all the way through it.

Seattle Post-Intelligencer Sean Axmaker

A good-natured movie.

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.

Charlotte Observer Lawrence Toppman

Chaotic, sometimes funny.

Film.com Gemma Files

No classic, but two hours well-spent nonetheless.

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.

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.

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.

Salon.com Stephanie Zacharek

It's sunny and cheerful without coming off as too saccharine.

Chicago Reader Lisa Alspector

The acting--especially Dreyfuss's ability to roll with the mood swings--is impressive if not redemptive.

The New York Times Dana Stevens

Some of it is, I'll admit, pretty funny.

Variety Joe Leydon

The sentimentality is gently but firmly restrained in a potentially treacly subplot.

Chicago Sun-Times Roger Ebert

The Crew is all contrivance and we don't believe a minute of it.

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.

San Francisco Chronicle Bob Graham

Seems it's never going to reach liftoff.

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.

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.

LA Weekly Chuck Wilson

There are moments that suggest the comedy that could have been.

Village Voice Nico Baumbach

The humor is even more geriatric than the cast.

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.
