(1 - 29) of 29 OFCS Rating: 83% Fresh Page   1   A- "Evans is such a capable storyteller that you find yourself liking him even though he's not exactly likeable."   AboutFilm.com   Carlo Cavagna 3.5/4 "An entertaining, slickly produced, and eminently satisfying biopic of movie mogul Robert Evans."   Movie Boeuf   David N. Butterworth 2/4 "...the film equivalent of a book-on-tape."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair C + "The documentary styled pic though entertaining was nevertheless irrelevant."   Ozus' World Movie Reviews   Dennis Schwartz 3.5/4 "This kid certainly stayed in the picture and was resilient enough to stick around and witness the rolling ending credits of his own tantalizing production."   Movie Eye   Frank Ochieng B- "An almost perfect embodiment of the spirit of its subject: it's slick, self-serving and amusing but ultimately rather shallow, more apologia than analysis."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 3.5/4 "remarkable in the sense that, for all his self-aggrandizing tendencies, Evans conveys himself as both powerful and vulnerable, still a Hollywood myth of grand proportions, but also a human being"   Q Network Film Desk   James Kendrick 5/5 "Brilliantly crafted documentary about Hollywood legend Robert Evans may not be the unvarnished truth, but it is great, glossy fun."   Netflix   James Rocchi 4/4 "A virtual roller-coaster ride of glamour and sleaze."   Palo Alto Weekly   Jeanne Aufmuth 8/10 "The audience can't tell where the embellishing is, nor should it care -- the portrait Evans paints is involving and entertaining."   Window to the Movies   Jeffrey Chen 7.5/10 "A terrific pseudo-documentary that's so engaging, entertaining and fascinating that you won't notice its message of dealing with whatever life might throw your way. But you'll certainly feel it afterwards."   Screen It!   Jim Judy 6/10 "Engrossing ... but ultimately felt more like a vanity project/tribute to the man than any kind of objective, well-rounded documentary."   JoBlo's Movie Emporium   JoBlo 4.5/5 "'... paints a remarkably compelling portrait of the prototype producer, a man who has accomplished what many can only daydream about...'"   ToxicUniverse.com   John A. Nesbit '3' "The entire movie is purely from Evans' own perspective and any baggage he carries, but it sure is a treat."   Bangitout.com   Jordan Hiller 2.75/5 "But for film buffs at least, Evans’s vivid story will make them feel nostalgic for this period of Hollywood history."   Film-Forward.com   Kent Turner C ""The Kid Stays in the Picture" is a great story, terrifically told by the man who wrote it but this Cliff Notes edition is a cheat."   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford 3/5 "A snazzy kick -- it's never less than hugely entertaining -- that should in no way be mistaken for an unbiased account."   TV Guide's Movie Guide   Maitland McDonagh 6/10 "Gossip-magazine -level material but still this a compelling biographical documentary."   rec.arts.movies.reviews   Mark R. Leeper 3.5/4 "Click to read review"   Mr. Brown's Movies   Michael Dequina B "A fascinating look at the topsy-turvy life of a high powered Hollywood producer that is far stranger than any work of fiction."   Laramie Movie Scope   Robert Roten C "In the book-on-tape market, the film of “The Kid Stays in the Picture” would be an abridged edition"   Reeling Reviews   Robin Clifford 3/4 "A documentary history of chutzpah presented in the language of oily success by a beast who knows the value of a good story told well."   Film Freak Central   Walter Chaw B+ Read review   EricDSnider.com   Eric D.
