Ladykillers, The (2004) scores a combined 1.20 out of 4 stars for Village Voice (J. Hoberman)Village Voice (J. Hoberman)
The Coens are uncharacteristically restrained. Indeed, given that the crime comedy is their preferred genre, The Ladykillers is remarkable mainly for its timidity. ...read the complete Ladykillers movie review at Village Voice (J. Hoberman)

A leaden, tone-deaf remake of the 1955 Ealing comedy starring Alec Guinness, the Coen brothers' painfully unfunny rehash hinges on the duel of wits between five larcenous oddballs and one sweet but strong-willed old lady. ...read the complete Ladykillers movie review at TV Guide (Maitland McDonagh)

The movie is anything but concise, and Hanks is only fascinating because you can't quite believe he's doing what he's doing. ...read the complete Ladykillers movie review at Newsday (John Anderson)

Not only have they (Coen Brothers) stripped it of all its wit and charm, they've loaded it down with the kind of race-baiting and bathroom humor they've always avoided in the past. ...read the complete Ladykillers movie review at Seattle Post-Intelligencer (William Arnold)

The Coen Brothers' remake of the perfect and perfectly exquisite Ealing Studio comedy, THE LADYKILLERS, isn't just a misfire, it's an annoying misfire, irksome, tedious, and on the whole, unnecessary. The original, as you recall, was perfect. It was, if ...read the complete Ladykillers movie review at Killer Movie Reviews (Andrea Chase)

Overall, the Coens latest is wasted talent. I wish I could say I had enjoyed it immensely but writing this review makes me just have less respect for the film itself. A lot of wasted talent and something that could have been hilarious is turned into a ...read the complete Ladykillers movie review at MovieJustice (Samuel Tolliver)

In the best case scenario, the Coens are shilling soundtrack CDs and assembly-lining these boring, anonymous pictures so as to bankroll some shrewd, well-orchestrated, uncompromised personal project that you only get to make after your ...read the complete Ladykillers movie review at Nick's Flick Picks (Nick Davis)

Grounded in caricature and played for loud, unmodulated laughs, the film suffers from the same problems that affected the Coens' other big dud, The Hudsucker Proxy -- namely, little fun and no heartbeat. ...read the complete Ladykillers movie review at Los Angeles Times (Manohla Dargis)
