Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
As a writer, Traeger is consternatingly adolescent and glib.

rotten:
There are no laughs to be found in writer-director Michael Traeger's would-be comedy The Amateurs, but there is one big mystery: how actors of this caliber could have been convinced to take part.

Do not waste your time with The Amateurs.

rotten:
This sort of thing was done much better by the British years ago in The Full Monty and Calendar Girls. There's really no call for an American rehash.
