Review of 21 (2008)

By Fred Topel (1,193) for Can Magazine (288) on 03 Apr 2008

This is a really stupid movie about such smart people... When they make references to Ferris Bueller and Swingers, it just feels desperate…

Review of 21 (2008)

By Andy Klein (675) for Los Angeles CityBeat (424) on 02 Apr 2008

For most of its length, 21 seems like a cautionary tale ... at least, until the whole point is negated by a tacked-on happy ending…

Review of 21 (2008)

By Walter Chaw (1,360) for Film Freak Central (1,643) on 01 Apr 2008

A film that makes Rounders seem like a work of great seriousness and import…

Review of 21 (2008)

By Ken Hanke (2,234) for Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) (2,247) on 01 Apr 2008

A lot of attractive people standing in for real-life nerds, and a plot that knows all the clichés and isn't afraid to use them…

Review of 21 (2008)

By Bob Bloom (1,124) for Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN) (1,017) on 31 Mar 2008

It's a gamble whether or not 21 will provide enough excitement to make you shout, Winner, winner, chicken dinner…

Review of 21 (2008)

By Amy Nicholson (961) for I.E. Weekly (269) on 30 Mar 2008

Like the Strip itself, it's all lights and music throbbing so hard you confuse yourself into thinking you're having fun…

Review of 21 (2008)

By John Beifuss (1,947) for Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) (1,944) on 30 Mar 2008

The glossiness of director Robert Luketic's staging offers reassurance even when events turn grim, as if Luketic was unable to shake the good-time…

Review of 21 (2008)

By Gina Carbone (187) for Seacoast Newspapers (NH/Maine) (187) on 30 Mar 2008

Some folks are calling 21 racist because Sturgess was cast as Ben Campbell, the main character, instead of someone - anyone - Asian…

Review of 21 (2008)

By Bryant Frazer (316) for Bryant Frazer's Deep Focus (294) on 30 Mar 2008

Harold & Kumar Go to Las Vegas would be lots more fun as well as more sociologically astute…

Review of 21 (2008)

By Gary Brown (224) for Houston Community Newspapers (245) on 30 Mar 2008

What starts out as a cerebral exercise surrenders to glitzy, formulaic poppycock, with a climatic chase scene that's about as exciting as watching…

Review of 21 (2008)

By Richard Roeper (2,737) for Ebert & Roeper (629) on 30 Mar 2008

Although it's definitely a fictionalization of a true story, they get the essence of this insanely crazy double life that these kids led as…

Review of 21 (2008)

By Sean Mcbride (367) for Sean the Movie Guy (367) on 30 Mar 2008

Starts out strong, with an attractive cast and an intriguing premise, but ultimately looses its way due to silly subplots and a muddled ending…

Review of 21 (2008)

By Jolene Mendez (257) for Entertainment Spectrum (633) on 30 Mar 2008

Another average film that could have had so much more to offer if the screenplay followed more closely to the actual events…

Review of 21 (2008)

By Susan Granger (2,214) for SSG Syndicate (1,551) on 30 Mar 2008

Here's the deal: this is sheer escapist entertainment - and, as such, it's a good gamble…

Review of 21 (2008)

By Tony Medley (1,109) for tonymedley.com (461) on 30 Mar 2008

The Hollywoodization of a true story changes what could have been gripping drama into derivative mundanity with too many plot holes to count…

Review of 21 (2008)

By Linda Cook (1,442) for Quad City Times (Davenport, IA) (1,206) on 30 Mar 2008

While this isn't my idea of a movie that's really based on a true story, 21 still deals out an entertaining thriller…

Review of 21 (2008)

By Sean Burns (1,156) for Philadelphia Weekly (778) on 29 Mar 2008

One of those movies where the audience is always about 20 minutes ahead of the characters, chock-full of dopey inventions from a Screenwriting…

Review of 21 (2008)

By Tricia Olszewski (442) for Let's Not Listen (63) on 28 Mar 2008

A disappointment for moviegoers who prefer their escapist entertainment to be less, well, utterly inert…

Review of 21 (2008)

By Kevin Carr (1,610) for Film School Rejects (1,198) on 28 Mar 2008

It tries to be as slick and as cool as an MTV music video, but it completely busts…

Review of 21 (2008)

By Sean P. Means (2,056) for Salt Lake Tribune (1,927) on 28 Mar 2008

21 blows the endgame when a jarring shift to a con-game finale turns an intriguing drama into just another popcorn movie - the movie equivalent…
