Going in Style's reviews
Media reviews
Chicago Sun-Times
While this charming movie will be targeted to senior audiences, I hope younger generations check it out ? as the humor and underlying messages are truly universal.
New York Times
It?s strictly comfort food, 99 percent predictable, though the 1 percent that isn?t ? you?ll know it when you see it ? is deftly executed.
The Washington Post
It?s the chemistry among these three fine actors that keeps Going in Style afloat, lifting it from the formulaic and forgettable ? which, essentially, it is ? and making it genuinely, if modestly, enjoyable.
The A.V. Club
It?s probably worth noting that the whippersnapper behind the camera is none other than one-time sitcom star and indie darling Zach Braff. Did he owe someone a favor, or is this his attempt to break into the studio system he scorned with his last feature, the gooey Kickstarted passion project "Wish I Was Here"?
New York Post
Ultimately, all signs point to Going in Style having been overcooked by too many chefs: You know you?re in trouble when multiple scenes in the trailer never show up in the final product.
The Hollywood Reporter
The real crime in Going in Style is its waste of acting talent.
Empire
Despite the all-star trio and the rare joke that lands, 'Going In Style' never hits its stride as a warm-hearted crime caper.
The Wrap
The clichéd story wouldn?t even be an issue if the movie were enjoyable. But little works as humor or suspense or sentiment once the job is on.
Roger Ebert
The comedy is bigger, the supporting players are wackier and the antics move to the bouncy beat of an incessantly perky soundtrack.
