Synopsis: It’s the perfect setup… the biggest payoff… the cleanest getaway. It’s the best job you’ve ever heard of. It’s a masterpiece… It’s your Bellini. When petty thief Cosimo (LUIS GUZMÁN) is... [More]
Starring: Isaiah Washington, William H. Macy, Sam Rockwell, Luis Guzmán
Director: Anthony Russo, Joseph Russo
This first-time feature by writer/director brothers Anthony and Joe Russo, with its light plot, short run time and derivative script, feels like a tentative trial run in film, but the Russos are clearly ones to watch.
This one is a few bits funnier than Malle's dud, if only because the cast is so engagingly messing around like Slob City reductions of Damon Runyon crooks.
Can't kick about the assembled talent and the Russos show genuine promise as comic filmmakers. Still, this thing feels flimsy and ephemeral.
Criminal conspiracies and true romances move so easily across racial and cultural lines in the film that it makes My Big Fat Greek Wedding look like an apartheid drama.
After all the big build-up, the payoff for the audience, as well as the characters, is messy, murky, unsatisfying.
A zippy, enormously entertaining heist movie that, with a kind heart at its core, encompasses the styles of yesterday, today, and if we're lucky, maybe even tomorrow.
Droll caper-comedy remake of "Big Deal on Madonna Street" that's a sly, amusing, laugh-filled little gem in which the ultimate "Bellini" begins to look like a "real Kaputschnik."
What the story doesn't deliver, the crew of ace actors does, leaving this short flick worthy of stealing a bit of your time.
Top CriticFilled with a sweet, loopy sensibility and some fresh comic turns, Welcome to Collinwood is a low-budget American film that falls into the good-but-slight category.
The doofus-on- the-loose banter of Welcome to Collinwood has a cocky, after-hours loopiness to it. And as with most late-night bull sessions, eventually the content isn't nearly as captivating as the rowdy participants think it is.
An enjoyably half-wit remake of the venerable Italian comedy Big Deal on Madonna Street.
Top CriticA few hours after you've seen it, you forget you've been to the movies.
The whole cast looks to be having so much fun with the slapstick antics and silly street patois, tossing around obscure expressions like Bellini and Mullinski, that the compact 86 minutes breezes by.
Despite its gritty Cleveland locations, it has the vacuum-sealed feel of a student film bankrolled by rich uncles.
Top CriticA fun quirky comedy, brilliant-plan-gone-awry picture. Surprising, amusing and odd, the plot plays rather unpredictable, purposely misfiring like an old Cleveland V-8.
Despite some comic sparks, Welcome to Collinwood never catches fire.
While locals will get a kick out of spotting Cleveland sites, the rest of the world will enjoy a fast-paced comedy with quirks that might make the award-winning Coen brothers envious.
Feels slight, as if it were an extended short, albeit one made by the smartest kids in class.
The off-center humor is a constant, and the ensemble gives it a buoyant delivery.
Agreeably old-fashioned.
