Critics Consensus

Though the four actors are good together, the jokes are stale and not funny.

John K @WQCMI Jul 29, 2026 This film makes me feel so uncomfortable because of its plot. See more Gabriel M @Anonymous12 Feb 2, 2026 Turned it off after 15 minutes. Should’ve been rated R due to its mature material, PG-13 doesn’t work under any circumstances. This looked like a failing attempt on remaking Martin Scorsese’s masterpiece GoodFellas (which is an awesome) in a comedy way and I’m surprised that no legal action was ever taken on this garbage movie. As far as the acting goes, it’s also poor as well and Burt Reynolds’s accent in this film is not entirely credible and exaggerating. See more Peter d @Pumpkin_eater Jan 19, 2026 I really enjoyed this movie. See more Steve D @RT35616104 Feb 6, 2023 Nowhere near as funny as it should be, See more Dec 15, 2019 This is a alright movie, a lot of people gave it a bad review. Kind of cute, kind of funny lacks a bit. A bunch of old "gansters" get together later in life and relive the good old days. I recorded it on a blank type for my bf who loves this movie and watches it a lot. The tape broke and I re bought him it on Amazon on d.v.d. for like under $10.00 so if looking to buy you can get it there cheap, not my fave movie but I'll go in and out watching it. See more Nov 6, 2016 11/5/2016: Very disappointing considering the wonderful cast. The storyline wasn't too bad, but this comedy wasn't really funny at all. See more Read all reviews
