Pros: Nice cast, some good laughs Cons: A little too silly and too much slapstick at times
The Crew is what you get when you combine Grumpy Old Men with Goodfellas. It's about four former wise guys who move to Miami, Florida to 'quit the business' only to find that life ain't so grand there with all the young, pretty people. These guys...
Pros: Dreyfus, Hedaya, Cassel, some genuinely funny situations and scenes Cons: Miscast, and while fun for the cast, less fun for the rest of us
Having watched this movie twice, I believe I have hit my limit. I rented it to see what Dreyfus could do, dismayed that he is old enough to do it. Burt Reynolds was not much of a draw, since most movies in which he has anything but a small part tend to...
Pros: Well Jennifer Tilly has a nice body and Dan Heyda is doing his best. Cons: The script, the cast, you name it.
The Crew could very well be the worst mob movie ever made. That's a bold statement, I know, but it's a fact. The Crew made me raise a lot of of questions when I was watching it. They are..
Pros: Has a few amusing moments... Cons: the rest of the film, however, is quite painful.
In a word, this movie was ex-crew-ciating.
Do you think that was a painful experience? Well, I admit that I should apologize profusely for such a tasteless pun, but I won’t. The pain you felt upon reading the first sentence of this review is...
Pros: I saw it for free. Cons: I still had to sit through it.
This bargain-basement comedy tells the story of four old mobster buddies, who decide to jump start their long-dormant wise guy careers. This movie tries desperately to be a high-energy slapstick affair, but almost every gag in the script makes an audible...
Pros: Easy Watching non-complex but entertaining plot Cons: Ethnic and Senior stereotyping. The "bad guys" are almost adorable
I rented this movie in the hopes of watching a movie that would not be too complex. Just something fun, funny, and relaxing. This movie meets all of the criteria.
The movie starts out with four mobster/friends hanging out and doing what...
Pros: The drug lord was kinda funny Cons: The script, the direction and the rest of the acting
In what was a temporary fit of unbearable optimism, I tossed my darling daughter into the passenger seat of what passes for my automobile; cranked the cd player up REAL loud and trucked on down to my local mini-megaplex movie theatre (motto: we are so...
Pros: Absolutely none Cons: Is this really entertainment?
How do you like my creative spelling of “cruel?” Okay, I’m writing this not out of any desire to make money, nor a desire to get hits, nor a desire in any way to advertise this movie, nor to draw attention to myself, but for only one reason: warn the...
Pros: Carrie-Anne Moss. Cons: As cliche-ridden and ineptly executed as it possibly could've been.
The Crew – fuhgedaboudit. Italian linguistic clichés like that one, plus many more (you know, like “mook”, “whack”, and so on), are fired off with more rapidity than four letter words in a Scorsese mobster flick. It’s all part of the gimmickry...
Pros: Good cast, workable idea that could have gone somewhere Cons: It simply fails to be interesting
Watching The Crew I couldn't help thinking how interesting this material could have been in more capable hands. I can't blame the cast. I've seen them all in much better films, and know they simply had nothing to work with.
Pros: It ends Cons: Everything and Anything involving the plot, cast, dialog, lighting, etc.
This is not a funny movie. While many films would consider that a form of praise, it's safe to assume that a comedy movie is shooting for a stronger endorsement. While the awful script makes it pretty obvious when you're supposed to be laughing, it...
It's mean to laugh at old people, unless they act like they're young - then it's okay. The problem is it's difficult to make a movie on this concept, you have to have a certain niche to center the story around. "The Crew" is a rather generic modern ...
Pros: Starts to get a little funny halfway through Cons: Lame parody attempts make you wish you were actually watching the films they were skewering
I'm always curious to find out where a film falls apart. Is it in the script? The editing? The direction? Sometimes it may happen as early as pre-production. The idea is there. The script is there. And the actors are there. The new mob comedy, The Crew,...
Okay I'll admit at first this seemed like a really lame movie. I didn't want to see it because I didn't really know what it was about. Then I found out it was about four "retired" mobsters and I thought "Ok, I like the mob movies, let's...
Pros: a cute crime comedy, nice acting, good photography, not very demanding Cons: keep your expectations low
THE CREW (2000) - and not to be confused with at least one other film of the same name - is a light comedy about retired mafiosi who are called back to action, rather arthritic action.
Bobby (Richard Dreyfuss), Bats (Burt Reynolds), Brick...
Four retired mobsters living in retirement home luxury in Florida concoct one last job to save their beloved home. Of course, a lot has changed since ...More at HotMovieSale.com
In this outrageous comedy a group of ex-mobsters living in the Raj Mahal senior-citizen residence in South Beach Miami are facing eviction. The reside...More at Family Video
