Well, here's four
retired crooks, over-the-hill bunch,
good old boys, has-been old timers
trying to get back into mainstream
crime--so they can try to save the
low-rent retirement hotel where they
live.
This movie just didn't
find its mark with me. The actors had no
script to pull this one out of the pits.
It became a nothing,
boring film that never developed into
anything entertaining to keep my
interest very long.
It almost worked and
should have, but it didn't for me.

The stars of The
Crew try their best to be amiable
and amusing, but they're trapped with a
tired script and no exit.
This is a
run-of-the-mill comedy that is rude,
crude, and very disappointing,
considering the star power involved.
Space Cowboys it is not.

The Crew is a comedy about four
crabby old aging mobsters who are stuck
in the living hell of retirement in
Miami Beach.
This movie is
undermined by a bad script that has to
be embarrassing for the veteran actors
who must realize this material is
beneath them and often stoops to cheap
toilet humor and sexual gags in a
desperate attempt for laughs.
It has to be
humiliating when the old pros are put in
a position of acting like old fools who
have outlived past glory and can't find
a comic groove.
No wonder the stars
seemed cantankerous.
