The actual heist is the high point, just as in the Italian film, and so raffish and disorganized was the gang that I can see how someone might enjoy this movie, coming to it for the first time.

Reviews for Welcome to Collinwood
Top CriticAn infectious caper flick.

The entire point of a shaggy dog story, of course, is that it goes nowhere, and this is classic nowheresville in every sense.

Self-consciously quirky and straining for idiosyncrasy, Welcome to Collinwood is a passable ensemble comedy that never hits its stride.

Top CriticIt's supposed to be a humorous, all-too-human look at how hope can breed a certain kind of madness -- and strength -- but it never quite adds up.

This ensemble comedy has its inventively funny moments. But ultimately, it gets a little too cute for its own good.

This goofy gangster yarn never really elevates itself from being yet another earnestly generic crime-busting comic vehicle -- a well-intentioned remake that shows some spunk and promise but fails to register as anything distinctive or daring

It's not exactly worth the bucks to expend the full price for a date, but when it comes out on video, it's well worth a rental.

Yet another self-consciously overwritten story about a rag-tag bunch of would-be characters that team up for a can’t-miss heist -- only to have it all go wrong.
