Review of Stand Up Guys (2012)

By Stephen Silver (684) for EntertainmentTell (372) on 31 Jan 2013

By Chris Hewitt (St. Paul) (2,277) for St. Paul Pioneer Press (4,360) on 31 Jan 2013

Review of Stand Up Guys (2012)

By Owen Gleiberman (3,271) for Entertainment Weekly (6,953) on 30 Jan 2013

Review of Stand Up Guys (2012)

By Roger Moore (6,008) for McClatchy-Tribune News Service (291) on 30 Jan 2013

By Jonathan Lack (87) for We Got This Covered (2,391) on 30 Jan 2013

I will continue to hold out hope for a good Pacino/Walken team-up in the future, but with writing this rote and unremarkable, Stand Up Guys…

Review of Stand Up Guys (2012)

By Kirk Honeycutt (1,481) for honeycuttshollywood.com (375) on 30 Jan 2013

The movie is a star vehicle for Pacino, Walken & Arkin but this instance, it works terrifically…

Review of Stand Up Guys (2012)

By Gabe Toro (98) for The Playlist (3,871) on 29 Jan 2013

It's like stocking a team with proven performers and hoping that everything else will work itself out at the end, including a rickety script,…

Review of Stand Up Guys (2012)

By Cameron Meier (130) for Orlando Weekly (1,048) on 29 Jan 2013

By Betsy Sharkey (695) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 13 Dec 2012

Most of the modest pleasures are in the ways the men expertly play off one another and invest their shallow characters with more depth than…

Review of Stand Up Guys (2012)

By Elizabeth Weitzman (1,905) for New York Daily News (5,623) on 13 Dec 2012
