(1 - 34) of 34 OFCS Rating: 66% Fresh Page   1   3.5/4 "...the firm, funny and delicious coming-of-age endeavor that Rushmore should have been..."   Cinemaphile.org   David Keyes 2.5/4 "Igby insists on throwing one unsympathetic character after another at us until it becomes clear there's nobody to root for."   Movie Boeuf   David N. Butterworth 2/4 "...a lot of the conversations play like sitcom fodder, with characters setting up punchlines and entering scenes at just the right moment."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair C+ "I was just not moved by this satire/drama."   Ozus' World Movie Reviews   Dennis Schwartz 3/4 "As uneven as the first act is, the third act is just as remarkable...the picture slyly sneaks up on you."   TheMovieBoy.com   Dustin Putman 1.5/4 "As disconcerting as LaBute's equally nasty though less charming dramedy Your Friends & Neighbors."   Slant Magazine   Ed Gonzalez 1.5/4 "A mean-spirited film made by someone who surely read The Catcher in the Rye but clearly suffers from dyslexia"   eFilmCritic.com   Erik Childress B+ "It is rare that movies portray smart teenagers, and I was grateful for this one."   Film Blather   Eugene Novikov 3/4 "...the film generates a decent flair for angst-ridden tendencies and the misguided rebellion this youthful protagonist agonizes over with complete ambivalence."   TheWorldJournal.com   Frank Ochieng C+ "Instead of 'The Royal Tenenbaums,' a viewer might be inclined to term the result 'The Royal Pains'...you can admire its attempts at wit without finding the actual outcome terribly funny."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek "A lark, especially for all those who enjoy cheering for losers who maintain their own special weirdness as woes rain down upon them."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat 3/4 "I have always appreciated a smartly written motion picture, and, whatever flaws Igby Goes Down may possess, it is undeniably that."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 2/4 "Writer/director Burr Steers emphasizes the Q in Quirky, with mixed results."   Palo Alto Weekly   Jeanne Aufmuth 6.5/10 "One of the more entertaining and intriguing looks at dysfunctional people to come down the pike in quite a while."   Screen It!   Jim Judy 8/10 "A very impressive balance of laughs and drama."   JoBlo's Movie Emporium   JoBlo 7/10 "It's second-class Salinger, but even at that it's thoughtfully entertaining."   DVDTown.com   John J. Puccio 6/10 "Probably a love-it-or-hate-it proposition, though it's likely to leave you pretty cold regardless of your overall level of cinematic enjoyment."   Planet Sick-Boy   Jon Popick 4/5 "Kieran Culkin channels Robert Downey Jr. circa Less Than Zero and Chaplin...excellent writing and performances"   Cinerina   Karina Montgomery 3/4 "A cross between Catcher in the Rye and Home Alone 2: Lost in New York."   Montreal Film Journal   Kevin N. Laforest 3.5/4 "A highly personal look at the effects of living a dysfunctionally privileged lifestyle, and by the end, we only wish we could have spent more time in its world."   Mark Reviews Movies   Mark Dujsik "Even Culkin’s intensely mordant performance here can’t make this pointless and brutal film watchable."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 4.5/5 "The script is witty and touching, and the performances of the leads (and most of the supporting players) carry it off perfectly."   Goatdog's Movies   Michael W. Phillips, Jr. C "An uninspiring, would-be Catcher in the Rye story."   Laramie Movie Scope   Robert Roten "Far too taken with its own rumpled-chino stylishness to be genuinely affecting."   Salon.com   Stephanie Zacharek 2/4 "A battle between bug-eye theatre and dead-eye matinee."   Film Freak Central   Walter Chaw "Click here to see review"   Wolf Entertainment Guide   William Wolf 1/10 Read review   Modamag.com   Brian Orndorf 5/10 Read review   rec.arts.movies.reviews   Dragan Antulov B+ Read review   EricDSnider.com   Eric D.
