Michael O'Sullivan Washington Post (Top Critic)

Tired, listless and anemic.
Full Review » 12 years ago
Jay Carr Boston Globe (Top Critic)

For all its violent gestures, this one screams safety, safety, safety, never taking anything like a real chance, never going anywhere unruly or unpredictable in its dogged allegiance to blandness.

Michael Wilmington Chicago Tribune (Top Critic)

I didn't expect much from The Crew but I laughed all the way through it.

Carrie Rickey Philadelphia Inquirer (Top Critic)

Dreyfuss' distinctive voice-over narration keeps this lumpy bundle from completely coming apart. But he can't hold it together. And one wonders why he would want to.

Jonathan Foreman New York Post (Top Critic)

Most of the jokes work well but too many of them have the ritual, predictable feel of sitcom humor.

Jay Boyar Orlando Sentinel (Top Critic)

Don't let the cast fool you.

Geoff Pevere Toronto Star (Top Critic)

At best, the film works like a geriatric version of The Sopranos. At it's worst, it's Cocoon with swearing and shootouts.

Gemma Files Film.com (Top Critic)

No classic, but two hours well-spent nonetheless.

A forgettable made-for-TV-like production.

The movie always seems to be out of sync with itself.

My first reaction to The Crew was: 'Thank goodness it was only 88 minutes.'

Once the story clicks into gear, The Crew is a lot of fun. But that doesn't happen until after the midpoint.

... the worst of American popular culture; it is a lazy, condescending, formulaic film that the filmmakers didn't even bother to finish

Yeah, nothing funnier than old men farting and Viagra jokes.

A sentimental codger comedy.

Mark Rahner Seattle Times

Strictly basic cable fare.

Not a major hit, but worth a few chuckles.

The Crew may think it's hitting a Soprano high note but in reality it's just sleeping with the fishes.

This aging Goodfellas satisfies while you're there, but it doesn't stick with you like a real meal.

Stuart Levine IFilm

This is one offer we can definitely refuse.

Eric Lurio Greenwich Village Gazette

This is pure sitcom, the characters are all cliches, and if it wasn't for the situation there'd be no jokes at all.
Full Review » 12 years ago
Howard Cohen Miami Herald

The problem is the movie's witless script ... can never decide whether it wants to be Grumpy Old Men III or GoodFellas II and it comes up short on both counts.

Chris Hewitt (St. Paul) St. Paul Pioneer Press

It's not that The Crew didn't make me laugh. It's that, for 90 minutes, it made me forget how to laugh.

F.L. Carr PopMatters

The comedy is consistent throughout the movie, and it is often very funny.

This geriatric group and their colorful fellow travelers come up with several nice laughs and funny scenes, but too often the jokes themselves are nearly dead.
