The Guys Ratings & Reviews
Arizona Republic
Randy Cordova
A well-intentioned misfire that doesn't work in the way it intended.
Detroit Free Press
Terry Lawson
Weaver, LaPaglia and director Simpson have little problem keeping us involved as they grapple with conflicting feelings in the ways nearly all Americans did.
Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Eleanor Ringel Cater
A noble attempt, but not much more.
Observer
Rex Reed
One of those rare and exemplary motion pictures that is likely to make audiences of strangers want to hold hands.
New York Daily News
Jack Mathews
If anyone needs reminding of those profound post-9/11 feelings, now or later, The Guys will be there to do it.
Observer
Andrew Sarris
The sobriety of the play has been preserved at the expense of the movie.
USA Today
Claudia Puig
Worth seeing just for Weaver and LaPaglia.
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
Too much virtue can burden a film. But The Guys, based on the play Anne Nelson wrote in response to 9/11, earns its sentiment.
Philadelphia Inquirer
David Hiltbrand
[A] stuporously solemn film.
Newsday
John Anderson
A movie like The Guys is why film criticism can be considered work.
Boston Globe
Wesley Morris
In its own remarkable and unshowy way, this movie is truly about how Sept. 11 seemed to equalize and unite New Yorkers across imaginary barriers of class and lifestyle.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
One from the heart.
Washington Post
Stephen Hunter
Upper West Sidey exercise in narcissism and self-congratulation disguised as a tribute.
Salon.com
Stephanie Zacharek
Sigourney Weaver shines as a writer who helps a New York fire captain, played by Anthony LaPaglia, find the words to remember the men he lost on Sept. 11.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
Not a bad journey at all.
Decent Films
Steven D. Greydanus
Those who aren't put off by the film's austerity will find it more than capable of rewarding them.
Dallas Morning News
Chris Vognar
Is it a great movie? Certainly not. Should it be seen? Absolutely.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Wilmington
So honest and heartfelt is Nelson's writing that the movie, while never surprising, never becomes tedious.
New York Times
A.O. Scott
An exercise in art therapy rather than a work of art.
Village Voice
Dennis Lim
Watching the film is like reading a Times Portrait of Grief that keeps shifting focus to the journalist who wrote it.
