Top Critics Reviews

The Ladykillers is small and compact -- it doesn't kill, it's just a doodle -- but it's a very pleasant cartoon for grown-ups. It's some sweet fodder.

While being far from the Coens' finest hour, it remains more intelligent and ambitious than most of what currently passes for Hollywood mainstream comedy.

It's both lowdown and effete, a jamboree of whoopee jokes and sick wit.

Everybody in and around this movie is trying too hard.

There's the mind-numbing oompah rhythm of every gag telegraphed and every joke pounded into the ground.
