Viagra is consumed, erections wrestled, old scores settled - blah blah blah.

| Jun 30, 2013

An initially promising, increasingly glutinous buddy comedy that exploits and squanders the talents of its starry cast.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 28, 2013

With a little bit of chutzpah and a fistful of Viagra, the tough guys of yesteryear can still come staggering back to make a decent movie.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 27, 2013

Thematic inconsistencies abound as Stevens aims for a tone somewhere between Grumpy Old Men, The Hangover, and Goodfellas.

Some actors don't need top-shelf material. Just the pleasure of their company is enough. And so Al Pacino, Christopher Walken and Alan Arkin turn the insubstantial Stand Up Guys into solid entertainment.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Feb 2, 2013

It's just fun to watch Pacino, Walken and Arkin work together, very much enjoying the shared experience. Seeing Stand Up Guys is an offer you could easily refuse, but hey, why fight it?

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Feb 1, 2013

Noah Haidle's screenplay doesn't offer many surprises, but every scene is imbued with a flavor that only actors of this caliber-and history-can provide.

| Feb 1, 2013

If you don't think Al Pacino still has it in him, this is a welcome chance to be proved wrong.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Feb 1, 2013

Is it fun? Sure, some of the time. Is it good? That's a stretch. Does it tap the potential of these three actors? Fuggedaboutit.

| Original Score: C+ | Feb 1, 2013

The degree to which "Stand Up Guys" succeeds at all is completely dependent on Walken, who elevates everything around him by seemingly doing nothing at all.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Feb 1, 2013

Guys has the lax, sleep-deprived vibe of one of those end-of-the-show "experimental" sketches on Saturday Night Live.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jan 31, 2013

Fisher Stevens directed from Noah Haidle's script, which is obviously the work of a young writer.

| Jan 31, 2013

It's been a long time since a movie wasted as much talent as Stand Up Guys, a film that aims to be a geezer Goodfellas but whose execution is a misfire.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jan 31, 2013

Makes its way under your skin thanks to its three lead actors, all of whom have a way of bringing a uniquely weirdly spin to their not-so-tough-guy lines.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | Jan 31, 2013

Pacino, Walken, and Arkin show their vitality and know-how in the face of their mortality and the pure joy of performing in the knowledge that they are better than ever.

| Original Score: B | Jan 31, 2013

Actor-turned-director Fisher Stevens gravely misjudges the tone - when he isn't trying to get too cute about everything, he slathers his characters in unearned sentimentality.

| Jan 31, 2013

"Stand Up Guys" is mostly a string of low-key, almost-amusing chats over breakfast tables and pool tables, as if just watching these actors exhale should be entertaining enough.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 31, 2013

But if you're in the mood to see a movie -- any movie -- featuring Pacino, Walken and Arkin, well ... here it is.

| Jan 31, 2013

Elegiac and corny and not really convincing on any level ...

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 31, 2013

It's like watching your grandfather get naked on YouTube.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jan 31, 2013
