Janet Maslin New York Times 05/20/2003
2.5/5
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. Go to Full Review Hal Hinson Washington Post 01/01/2000
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. Go to Full Review Quentin Curtis Independent on Sunday 11/29/2017
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. Go to Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com 04/26/2006
C+
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. Go to Full Review Kevin Carr 7M Pictures 02/22/2006
1/5
boring indie crap Go to Full Review Mark Palermo The Coast (Halifax, Nova Scotia) 01/30/2003

G R Oct 30 Masterpiece. Okay not really at all but it’s nostalgic. See more SpookySkeleton 1 Jul 20 Good low budget movie. See more Michael R 07/04/2024 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. See more John M 04/30/2024 I enjoyed it kore than I thought I would. There are a few pointless scenes and some questionable acting but overall not bad. See more 07/13/2019 Critics suck. This is an underground "have u ever seen" masterpiece. If u ever had good childhood friends in this atmosphere See more 07/05/2019 its awesome bad movie See more Read all reviews
