2/5
"most watchers will likely be too depressed to muster much sympathy for Even Money's downtrodden losers."  Filmcritic.com  Christopher Null

2/5
"Tannen's script dances with ridiculous one too many times."  eFilmCritic.com  David Cornelius

1/5
"The story is scarcely grounded in the mechanics of real-world expression."  Los Angeles Times  Ed Gonzalez

D+
"It's all so ham-fisted and clumsy, a movie whose agenda looms heavily over the proceedings."  EricDSnider.com  Eric D. Snider

1/4
"Because of the 1985 Ryan O'Neal fiasco, Fever Pitch, Even Money doesn't have the distinction of being the worst film about gambling ever made. Then again, second place is also the first loser."  eFilmCritic.com  Erik Childress

D+
"To co-opt gambling addiction, which has roots far more complex than 'what we're willing to put on the line,' into the service of such facile moralizing seems tasteless."  Film Blather  Eugene Novikov

3.5/5
"The film is definitely worth a look."  7M Pictures  Kevin Carr

1/4
"This collection of cautionary anecdotes never adds up to much more than the sum of their obvious morals."  TV Guide's Movie Guide  Maitland McDonagh

1/4
"Producer Bob Yari returns to the Crash well with Even Money and comes up with a turgid PSA about the dangers of gambling."  Slant Magazine  Nick Schager

4/10
"Lady Luck fails to shine on this floundering, cliche-filled cautionary tale."  www.susangranger.com  Susan Granger

2/4
"Robert Tannen's first-produced screenplay certainly doesn't lack for story -- or clichés, for that matter. Nor does Tannen skimp on trite, predictable plot twists, or well-worn, stock characters in his pedestrian script."  Reel.com  Timothy Knight

"Click here to see review"  Wolf Entertainment Guide  William Wolf
