Summary: It's good for its class
Review: From some of the reviews I've read, you'd think that Barry Sonnenberg was expecting The Crew to compete for an Oscar. The lack of special effects and stretches of credibility should be the tipoff, folks. This was strictly a fun "throw in a little schtick and some sight gags and keep the actors busy while awaiting their next serious role" kind of film. Hell, the explosives and ammo budget probably could have been handled out of petty cash.Even Beethoven wrote a few pieces that he called "bagatelles" on occasion. This flick is very good for its genre. In the category of lighthearted, low-budget comedy it excelled. And I'll bet ten dollars to your Aunt Minnie's used teabag that that's all it was meant to do! Richard Dreyfuss, and Burt Reynolds were clearly on cruise control for this picture. It also says much for their talents that they could turn out a quality performance while coasting along. Dan Hedaya and Miguel Sandoval did their usual great character bits. Seymour Cassel was a new face to me, which just goes to show that I don't spend all of my spare time watching the tube (i.e., I got a life.) It even kept my father chuckling throughout the whole show. This is a pretty good accomplishment for a man 75 years old who tends to nod off now and again. All in all, a good bet if you want to kick back and have a few laughs between life's little booby traps.

Summary: Goodfellas with an Older Cast
Review: I didn't think so much about this movie. I thought it was going to be such a stupid excuse for a movie. But it actually turned out to be one that I enjoyed. Richard Dreyfuss heads an all-star cast along with Seymour Cassell, Dan Hedeya, Burt Reynolds, and Carrie Anne-Moss. The story follows the four main characters from their time as mob hit-men to their time in a retirement home in Florida. They're fired from every job possible, trying to survive the now envaded Florida scenery. They yet again turn to crime to make everything ok again. Packed with good comedy and great actors, the Crew is not to be missed.

Summary: Very Funny and Worth The Watch
Review: I hate to disagree with some of the other critics ... but when I went to see this movie in a crowded theatre, there were laughs coming out of everybody. And speaking for myself, this movie was very funny, the cast was great and some scenes you just could not help but laugh. You have to be into movies that deals with mafia type humor and you have to be fans of any of the starring actors/actresses. It is definitely worth a watch.

Summary: Hey! Wise up
Review: Ok, Its not the best movie and a lot of the jokes are anti-old folks and wise guy stereotypical. But hey, So is a lot of stuff out there. There is a great joke on Goodfellas where the wise men go through a long tracking shot in a resturaunt, I laughed. When a mouse is turned into an arsonist, I laughed. I laughed alot in this movie and I gave a copy to the nearest retirement home, and they laughed. You indentify or you don,t. Understand.

Summary: Very Amusing Comedy
Review: Right off the bat, it was obvious this was a dark comedy, but the performances carried this movie past any flaws it might have had. The 4 core characters are perfect. One little plan of theirs to save their hotel blows up to an incident of major proportions. If I could imagine what Henry Hill and his other compatriots would be doing at 60, this would be it. Very funny!

Summary: Definatly worth a look, very funny and well done
Review: The Crew is acually a very funny enjoyable movie. I will admit the plot is a little weak, but it's not horrible. It is basically about four ex crew members {Dreyfuss and company} want to stay in their appartment, so of course they set up a fake killing to keep their appartment. And along the way they meet a firy widow { Kazan}, a tenasious stripper { Jeniffer Tilly}, and a policeinvestogator who might just be Dreyfuss's long lost daughter { Carrie Anne Moss}. A bit corny......Yes but still very enjoyable. Without a doubt the three major female roles are what holds together this film. Kazan is hillarios as the old widow deli owner. Tilly is great and very enthusiastic as the female stripper "dating" one of the crew members for the money. And Moss is exellent as the police officer { in a short seen you get to see her do two more matrix kicks! don't miss it} and her part is no doubt way to short.

Summary: Rude, Crude but VERY Funny!
Review: This is a very amusing film about four mobsters who end up in a Florida retirement home but find it boring so they set out to find jobs, fun and women. It is very slapstick at times, often rude, sometimes violent but always funny. Dreyfuss is great as the Hit-Man with a heart who watches his now grown daughter from afar as she strives to make it as a cop in the big bad world and Burt Reynolds is a hoot as the man who is always having to be resuscitated after nearly drowning, one time in a toilet, courtesy of Dreyfuss. It is slow moving film at first but it picks up its pace fairly quickly and you will laugh and chortle at all the ridiculous capers the four men get up to, including driving a South American Drug Lord nuts as they accidentally get in his way whilst he is trying to organize a big delivery of Class A drugs. The final action scene is hilarious when Dreyfuss and two of his companions call in their old Wise-Guy comrades who have all retired (one is even in a wheelchair and on oxygen!) to go to the rescue of their fourth friend, along with Dreyfus's daughter, his girlfriend and her stepmother. Well worth watching despite what other critics say to the contrary!
