Saint John of Las Vegas Reviews
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
It's a kind of cinematic purgatory, halfway between eternal reward and eternal damnation. The question is: What did I do to deserve such mediocrity?
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
Saint John of Las Vegas was a bad script that somehow got made into a bad movie with good people in it.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
This movie is all elbows. Nothing fits. It doesn't add up. It has some terrific free-standing scenes, but they need more to lean on.
Orlando Sentinel
Roger Moore
Comic casting and comic timing pay off in most scenes, with Dinklage landing the big laughs, Malco doing his wise-guy-talking-down-to-the-doofus patter and Buscemi just bugging out and reacting to the craziness.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
It's minor, but I enjoyed it, largely because of the people on-screen, but also for the sneaky sincerity of writer-director Hue Rhodes' chronicle of one compulsive gambler's slouch toward redemption.
Boston Globe
Janice Page
For all its clever quirkiness, the end product seems flat and over-thought, which isn't to say it's a bad first step for this ambitious novice director, just a long way from something that will set the world on fire.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
This disjointed, desperately whimsical film is simply not funny: not for a minute.
Los Angeles Times
Gary Goldstein
The oft-used ploy of forcing an odd couple into a car and sending them off to uncharted territory is trotted out yet again here, but to minimal comic or emotional effect.
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
First-time director and screenwriter Hue Rhodes shows no discernible talent for dialogue, humor and, especially, pacing. For a movie than runs a mere 85 minutes, Saint John moves like a life sentence in molasses prison.
New York Post
Kyle Smith
[Its] randomly flung-in episodes are just quirky padding around a thin, one-twist story.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
Theoretically, Saint John of Vegas may look good from a distance, but when seen up close it's only a house of cards.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
By the time it was over a part of me couldn't help but wonder why I stuck around until the very end.
CinemaBlend
Perri Nemiroff
Far from a masterpiece, but Rhodes gives Buscemi a role ripe with emotion and a fascinating complexity. Buscemi returns the favor by powering the film with an engaging oddity.
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
This debut feature by Hue Rhodes offers a wealth of skilled players and admirably offbeat gags yet seldom manages to generate any laughs.
At the Movies
A.O. Scott
I don't think that this movie has a coherent sense of what it's about, what its characters are doing, what kind of tone of comedy or drama or quirkiness it's trying to strike.

Michael Phillips
This one's not for everyone for sure, but I was amused by it.
Wall Street Journal
Joe Morgenstern
The writing is semicoherent at best, and the buddies of this meandering road trip are not only mismatched but dislikable.
AV Club
Keith Phipps
Rhodes doesn't find much more for them to do than flit from one quirk-filled vignette to the next.
Entertainment Weekly
Chris Nashawaty
With stars like Steve Buscemi and Sarah Silverman and big-fish producers such as Spike Lee and Stanley Tucci on board, you'd think this indie would offer some glimmer of wit or originality. Think again.
Associated Press
Glenn Whipp
As a portrait of one man's journey toward dignity, Saint John isn't bad enough to create its own special circle of hell. As a comedy, though, it's anything but divine.
