(1 - 21) of 21 OFCS Rating: 21% Rotten Page   1   0.5/4 "When it comes to Knockaround Guys, the only remotely energetic aspect of the project is the fact that characters occasionally use words with more than two syllables."   Cinemaphile.org   David Keyes 2.5/4 "...the lack of a fluid storyline prevents the film from ever becoming much more than a showcase for some really fine acting and a lot of clever dialogue."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair "Knockaround Guys plays like a student film by two guys who desperately want to be Quentin Tarantino when they grow up. But they lack their idol's energy and passion for detail."   Portland Tribune   Dawn Taylor 1/4 "The execution is lazy enough for a straight-to-cable title and we’re left yawning awaiting for all the principle players to arrive in bumble**** so we can finally have a shootout."   eFilmCritic.com   Erik Childress 2/4 "The sad thing about Knockaround Guys is its lame aspiration for grasping the coolness vibes when in fact the film isn’t as flippant or slick as it thinks it is."   TheWorldJournal.com   Frank Ochieng C "A pint-sized 'Goodfellas' designed to appeal to the younger set, it's not a very good movie in any objective sense, but it does mostly hold one's interest."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 1/5 "It's Young Guns meets Goodfellas in this easily skippable hayseeds-vs.-greaseballs mob action-comedy."   Netflix   James Rocchi 3/10 "There are so many terrific mob-related movies and TV shows out there that you shouldn't waste your time on this sort of subpar effort."   Screen It!   Jim Judy 6/10 "Just don't go expecting anything to truly knock you upside the head and you should be okay."   JoBlo's Movie Emporium   JoBlo 5/10 "If Oscar had a category called Best Bad Film You Thought Was Going To Be Really Awful But Wasn't, Guys would probably be duking it out with The Queen of the Damned for the honor."   Planet Sick-Boy   Jon Popick C- "The lack of humor pervading the final reels lays bare the unoriginal workings of a plot that could have been camouflaged, or at least forgiven, taken less seriously"   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford 2/5 "The film never finds its tone and several scenes run too long."   TV Guide's Movie Guide   Maitland McDonagh "A wannabe mob movie about wannabe mobsters that doesn’t know whether it’s a comedy or a drama, but does very definitely know that either way, it’s about Vin Diesel beating the living crap out of people."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson "One of those strained caper movies that's hardly any fun to watch and begins to vaporize from your memory minutes after it ends."   Salon.com   Stephanie Zacharek "This wannabe wiseguy comedy/drama reaps Vin Diesel's astounding "XXX" popularity but it has little credibility or pace. It's a goodfellas knock-off that rolls with the punches."   www.susangranger.com   Susan Granger 2.5/4 "Demonstrates what it could be when Noonan struts on-screen with his careful reptilian gait."   Film Freak Central   Walter Chaw "Click here to see review"   Wolf Entertainment Guide   William Wolf C- Read review   EricDSnider.com   Eric D.
