Owen Gleiberman Entertainment Weekly Rated: C+ Sep 7, 2011 Full Review Janet Maslin New York Times Mr. Weiss is more successful in introducing these people and setting them in motion than he is in allowing sharp, revealing details to emerge from the turmoil that surrounds them. Rated: 2.5/5 May 20, 2003 Full Review Hal Hinson Washington Post Amongst Friends would love to be a Mean Streets for the '90s, and its Long Island streets may be mean enough, but here they're barely semi-tough. Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Quentin Curtis Independent on Sunday Rob Weiss's Amongst Friends, a gangster rites-of-passage tale, owes much to Mean Streets and Goodfellas -- reminiscing voice-overs, bustling hand-held camera, boys bonding and boiling over -- but it has its own slender charm. Nov 29, 2017 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com In this Jewish Mean Streets, Weiss substituts Scorsese's Italian lowlifes with upper-middle class Jewish youngsters who don't drift into crime but rather choose it consciously as a way of life. Rated: C+ Apr 26, 2006 Full Review Kevin Carr 7M Pictures boring indie crap Rated: 1/5 Feb 22, 2006 Full Review Read all reviews

Michael R One of my all time favorite movies. I remember buying the bootleg on the streets in Manhattan back when it came out (purchased a legit copy later). It's too bad Weiss didn't stick to this genre. He had the vibe of Long Island and the low level crime characters to a tee. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/04/24 Full Review John M I enjoyed it kore than I thought I would. There are a few pointless scenes and some questionable acting but overall not bad. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/30/24 Full Review Mickey W It a good flick, not great Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 12/03/22 Full Review william s Flawed and somewhat poorly paced but solid first time offering. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Critics suck. This is an underground "have u ever seen" masterpiece. If u ever had good childhood friends in this atmosphere Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member its awesome bad movie Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/05/19 Full Review Read all reviews
