Like any life well-lived there are plenty of detours into humor, drama, success and regret, and hearing it all from a wizened man with an admirable outlook is exactly the type of feel-good material which makes for a fun flick.

George Lazenby is an interesting guy, but as a complete picture of his life, this movie is woefully inadequate.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Dec 25, 2018

Telling his tale direct-to-camera and in his own words, Lazenby makes for a hilarious and charismatic guide to an incredible story.

Sufficiently winning.

Very funny.

"Becoming Bond" is a delightful dip into someone's own version of their past. It might be light on tuxedo talk, but the biggest takeaway is how much more there is learn.

| Original Score: B+ | May 28, 2017

Ultimately Becoming Bond rests on George Lazenby - and the actor, cantankerous, witty, gregarious and just a little sad, ably shoulders the responsibility.

| Original Score: A- | May 28, 2017

Much of the film is hilarious and Lazenby is a remarkable storyteller.

| May 28, 2017

It makes for great cinema about great cinema.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | May 28, 2017

We get to know a man who relished almost every minute of what he experienced.

| May 28, 2017

The charming, skillful storyteller George Lazenby himself is the best reason to watch Becoming Bond. The reenactments, while often funny and involving, simply can't hold a candle to the man and his anecdotes.

| Original Score: 7/10 | May 25, 2017

Plays like an iffy "Funny or Die" short, lacking polish, focus, and laughs to truly become the raucous celebration of a bad business decision it wants to be.

| Original Score: C- | May 24, 2017

[A] rather A&E/TLC treatment of Lazenby's life.

| Original Score: 4/10 | May 20, 2017

There is a potentially interesting film-documentary or fiction-in Lazenby's life and career, but Becoming Bond, despite its ambitions, is not it.

| Original Score: 2/4 | May 19, 2017

Intimate, irreverent and at times laugh-out-loud funny ...

| May 17, 2017

A bizarre hybrid of documentary and feature...

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | May 17, 2017

The result is as slick as it is hilarious, a perfect portrait of an aging ladies' man and irascible rebel agent.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Apr 26, 2017

A film about a guy who did life his own way, and it's an enjoyable ride.
