Well when a film comes out it makes you proud to be a film critic, movie fan and everything in between because the way the story is told, the way the actors act and the way you talk about it when you leave the theater.

When I saw many of the reviews for the Coen Brothers' last movie, Intolerable Cruelty, a lot of the reviewers said they were trying to be "mainstream" and stuff like that. I guess they had a point, since it was probably their most accessable movie ...read the complete Ladykillers movie review at MovieWeb (Brian Gallagher)

In the spirit of "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" and "Fargo" comes "The Ladykillers," a smart, witty, and mostly hilarious film starring Tom Hanks, Marlon Wayans, and Irma P Hall.

If you've even been to Mississippi on a gaming casino boat, you'll pick up the Bible Belt atmosphere that permeates the Coen brothers' tale.

For a certain brand of film geek, the best news about The Ladykillers is that it isn't a Tom Hanks movie. It's a Coen brothers movie. ...read the complete Ladykillers movie review at Portland Oregonian (M. E. Russell)

Done with an enticing mixture of lacerating comedy, lush Roger Deakins cinematography, robust acting and juicy lines, the Coens' Ladykillers is often glorious fun to watch. It won't please everyone, of course. ...read the complete Ladykillers movie review at Chicago Tribune (Michael Wilmington)

I suspect that mainstream audiences will find plenty of things to take pleasure in, even though some viewers may be bewildered by what the Coens do. But for those who share my taste in comedy, this is a must-not-miss. ...read the complete Ladykillers movie review at ReelViews (James Berardinelli)

Of course, the Professor is not what he seems he is a robber who plans to steal money from the Bandit Queen casino.

Still, as long as the Coens are making comedies, it's hard not to cheer their attempts at delivering them with panache. When it's good it's golden -- their home run here is the way they handle the ending, which, while surprisingly faithful to the ...read the complete Ladykillers movie review at Window to the Movies (Jeffrey Chen)

Goldthwait Higginson Dorr, Ph.D. (Tom Hanks) has a plan. In fact it's a very clever plan to rob a riverboat casino by tunneling to the underground office.

I will often get hate-mail because I will occasionally score a movie negatively, entirely because of its terrible last half hour (a la Bruce Almighty ). I find this thinking to be perfectly legit, since the climax and resolution are the two most awaited ...read the complete Ladykillers movie review at Bucket Reviews (Danny Baldwin)

Tom Hanks and the Coen brothers take the title, the concept (sweet little old lady outwits criminals), the teeth, and the slightly sepulchral laugh from the 1955 English black comedy classic.

The Ladykillers is an interesting concoction - a faithful update of the original Ealing comedy cooked in vat of Coen Brothers' seasoning.
