Review For Stand Up Guys |
Thematic inconsistencies abound as Stevens aims for a tone somewhere between Grumpy Old Men, The Hangover, and Goodfellas. Drew Hunt-Chicago Reader
Some actors don't need top-shelf material. Just the pleasure of their company is enough. And so Al Pacino, Christopher Walken and Alan Arkin turn the insubstantial Stand Up Guys into solid entertainment. Peter Travers-Rolling Stone
It's just fun to watch Pacino, Walken and Arkin work together, very much enjoying the shared experience. Seeing Stand Up Guys is an offer you could easily refuse, but hey, why fight it? Peter Howell-Toronto Star
If you don't think Al Pacino still has it in him, this is a welcome chance to be proved wrong. Mick LaSalle-San Francisco Chronicle
Is it fun? Sure, some of the time. Is it good? That's a stretch. Does it tap the potential of these three actors? Fuggedaboutit. Tom Long-Detroit News
The degree to which "Stand Up Guys" succeeds at all is completely dependent on Walken, who elevates everything around him by seemingly doing nothing at all. Ann Hornaday-Washington Post
Stevens' second feature proves unexpectedly thoughtful and affecting, thanks in large part to virtuoso interplay between its leads. Rick Kisonak-Film Threat
There are no real surprises and not a lot of drama in Stand Up Guys, but since the actors not delivering the goods are septuagenarians Christopher Walken, Al Pacino and Alan Arkin, you're in for a show nonetheless. Chris Knight-National Post
For a film about coming to terms with death, Stand Up Guys is funnier than you might expect, and never once sinks into sentimental treacle. Perry Seibert-TV Guide's Movie Guide
Throw in Alan Arkin and this would seem to be a promising premise, but the dialogue didn't click and the film just meanders through it's one evening. Kristian Harloff-Schmoes Know
If it wasn't for the talent on screen I may have been bored by this, but hey, you hired these guys for a reason, right? Mark Ellis-Schmoes Know
The film moves at a geriatric pace to match the age of the protagonists and the target audience. Todd Jorgenson-Cinemalogue.com
Wobbly and contrived: given that cast, it could have and should have been so much better. Susan Granger-SSG Syndicate
There's not much to the story beyond its thin conceit, so the filmmaker relies on his stars' charms. Even when it comes to Oscar winners, that approach only gets you so far. Robert Levin-amNewYork
Predictability in a film is a major offense, but the real crime in "Stand Up Guys" is the squandering of the talented cast assembled. Jeanne Kaplan-Kaplan vs. Kaplan
It's Walken's deadpan style vs. Pacino's bombastic, loud, often obnoxious behavior, but it works for me. David Kaplan-Kaplan vs. Kaplan
Stand Up Guys needs a Grumpy Old Men-ectomy, stat. Christian Toto-Big Hollywood
Stand Up Guys gets caught up in stereotypical old-timer laughs but its principal cast shakes them off and ultimately makes the experience fulfilling. Sandy Schaefer-ScreenRant
Noah Haidle's screenplay doesn't offer many surprises, but every scene is imbued with a flavor that only actors of this caliber-and history-can provide. Leonard Maltin-Leonard Maltin's Picks
Al Pacino's chemically-induced boner that has to be drained with a needle in the first act is a nice metaphor for the whole movie. Vincent Mancini-FilmDrunk
Reminds us Hollywood rarely turns out actors like this anymore. Diana Saenger-ReviewExpress.com
A small film featuring three wily, veteran screen thespians in a storyline based in loyalty and friendship, Stand Up Guys is, in its offbeat and often warm way, a killer little movie. John Wirt-Advocate (Baton Rouge, LA)
No movie starring Pacino, Walken and Arkin can be all bad -- and Stand Up Guys isn't Robert Denerstein-Movie Habit
