A group of likable losers try to pull of what by their standards seems like a major heist in this offbeat crime comedy, loosely based on the classic Italian caper comedy I Soliti Ignoti. A group of sa... read more

March 17, 2012Entertaining and funny, Welcome to Collinwood is a nice film to watch, but certainly is very weak and poor; what make the original Italian classic comedy "I Soliti Ignoti" much more better.

October 14, 2010Funny. Screwball kind of movie. Well done. William H. Macy is fantastic, as usual.

June 23, 2009A gang of down at heel petty crooks inherit what they think is a perfect crime but in execution, things do not go as smoothly as they'd hoped. A kind of Ocean's Eleven for losers, Welcome To Collinwood is a comic heist film that smacks of trying way too hard. I was not surprised ... read more

I haven't seen Big Deal on Madonna Street yet but I really enjoyed Welcome to Collinwood , I mean it may not be a great comedy but from a personal point of view I really liked the story & its characters, There are also so many hilarious lines & Sam Rockwell rocks -
May 7, 2008With a cast including George Clooney, Isaiah Washington, Luis Guzman, Patricia Clarkson, Sam Rockwell, William H. Macy and the great Michael Jeter, how could this not be great? Well, even though it's rather uneven, it's still quite entertaining. If there's something that can go ... read more

March 11, 2008Riley: This Bellini is starting to look like a real Kapuchnik.
Here is a fresh and fun caper comedy featuring a great ensemble cast made up mainly of character actors.
The movie was written and directed by Joe and Anthony Russo, who have directed a number of Arrested Developmen... read more -
November 12, 2007Decent heist movie with some good ideas but ultimatley lacking something...

June 12, 2007Pretty amusing movie with very interesting wanna-be-crook characters, portrayed by a really great cast. While the actual heist is little spectacular in the end, the list of failures the characters go through is still very entertaining to witness. Very obscure sense of humor in a... read more

Collinwood seems like a series of sketches, with caricatures instead of characters. Full Review

Susan Stark, Detroit News
The picture runs a mere 84 minutes, but it's no glance. It's a head-turner -- thoughtfully written, beautifully read and, finally, deeply humanizing. Full Review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
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. Full Review

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

Matt Weitz, Dallas Morning News
It'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. Full Review

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

Terry Lawson, Detroit Free Press
As shameless as it is successful in stringing together gag after gag. Full Review

Sometimes this modest little number clicks, and sometimes it doesn't.
