	Author	Review
United States	Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"The movie crosses two formulas--Fish Out of Water and Coming of Age--fairly effectively (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"[It] is off the shelf after two years to capitalize on the popularity of Vin Diesel, Seth Green and Barry Pepper. It should have stayed there."	NEG
United States	Lawrence Van Gelder The New York Times	"Diesel is effective as Matty's muscle. But when it comes to father, sons and mob life, stick to 'The Godfather'."	NEU
United Kingdom	Damon Wise Empire	"It's a mess (and a slightly tedious one at that), but it's hardly the fault of the four up-and-comers. They do the best with what they've got, but the underdeveloped script doesn't support its own changes in tone (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United States	David Rooney Variety	"A well-constructed tale (...) Young male auds should warm to its cool criminal ethos, sharp dialogue, charismatic cast and wry humor"	POS
United States	Scott Tobias AV Club	"Though not bereft of comedic moments (...) 'Knockaround Guys' proceeds with a gravity that's constantly tripped up by its characters' stupidity"	NEU
