An Actor Prepares Ratings & Reviews
Madison Movie
Rob Thomas
There was a lot of potential here in giving Irons such a larger-than-life character, but it wasn't long before I was kind of wishing I was watching "Cops & Slobbersons" instead.
RogerEbert.com
Matt Fagerholm
The characters are so off-putting that our time spent with them quickly devolves into an endurance test.
Movie Mom
Nell Minow
Irons is clearly overjoyed to have a chance to break out of Serious Actor mode and have some fun at the expense of the master thespians he has had the chance to observe.
Los Angeles Times
Michael Rechtshaffen
One keeps hoping director Steve Clark, who penned the script with Thomas Moffett, would plot a few unexpected turns along the way.
The Hollywood Reporter
Frank Scheck
Are all fathers and their grown sons estranged? Does every road trip movie have to be filled with quirky characters and colorful detours? Judging by An Actor Prepares and so many other movies of its ilk, the answer to all of these is yes.
