	Author	Review
United States	Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times	"This isn't a great heist movie for a lot of reasons, beginning with the stupidity of its heist plan and the impossibility of these characters ever being successful at anything more complex than standing in line (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"	NEU
United States	David Edelstein New York Magazine	A shameless but exuberantly well-done caper comedy (...) The screenplay is packed with nifty gags"	POS
United States	Todd McCarthy The Hollywood Reporter	"Tower Heist spins on a crackerjack premise that’s played for broad entertainment value, rather than real interest in the contemporary economic issues (...) Snappy, well cast and streetwise"	POS
United States	Ann Hornaday The Washington Post	''Tower Heist' is an improbably satisfying action comedy, the kind of wax-on-wax-off, slickly machined Hollywood widget that meets its audience's expectations without once aspiring to exceed them (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"You won't remember Tower Heist an hour later, but the top cast makes the jokes (even the lousy ones) go down easy (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"	NEU
