The film has curdled into camp.

"Harry and Tonto" is an unusual film which addresses itself to the matter of growing old in America and it manages to do so without foundering in mawkish sentimentality or delivering a sermon on the dignity of age.

Mazursky is to be commended for this wonderful portrait because too few movies deal with the elderly and contain the wit and originality as does this one.

An excellent motion picture, wise and entertaining and upholding the basic dignity of man in a world that often moves too fast for him.

The film excels over every mile of Carney's journey and in every scene in which Carney appears - which is virtually every one in the picture.

Thrills and chills there are not in "Harry and Tonto." But there's a lot of Art Carney, a warmly welcome new starring presence at the movies.

As a slice of contemporary American life, the story's wit and humanity will be a refreshing relief from some of the excesses moviegoers are currently being subjected to.

This film marks Carney's debut, and it could not be more impressive.

Warm and thought-provoking portrayal of a journey and a man coping with the onset of age and all that might mean.

Art Carney's performance is inexpressive and dull enough to earn him an Oscar... The cat acts best, and with condign condescension.

Affectionate but contrived odyssey folk tale.
| Original Score: B- | Feb 29, 2012
A pleasant film about an old man who rejuvenates himself on a cross-country trek.

Mazursky has escaped Fellini's shadow; when everyone's back from going to 'look for America', he might have something interesting to say.
