April 3, 2011Expecting an out-and-out comedy(considering its plot), I was disappointed slightly, but still it was a fun watch with that feel good factor.

September 19, 2010"Father, Father I've been shot!
- I'm very happy for you."
When the director is Neil Jordan, the screenwriter David Mamet and the cast includes Robert De Niro and Sean Penn, you'd think that 'We're No Angels' should be something quite good. I recently saw this and I'm stunned. B... read more -

May 15, 2007Robert DeNiro made a few shocking career choices in the 80s, and this is one of them. Witless and annoying mugging with zero laughs, despite the quality cast and director. And I have two words for you; "Demi" and "Moore".

A larger number of characters (plus extra subplots) which apparently ... read more -

Boring fish out of water story. No laugh out loud moments.

Phil Villarreal, Arizona Daily Star
Falls short of its potential, but a fun lark nonetheless.
