Critics Consensus

A curiously charmless caper that squanders a starry cast and screenplay by the Coen brothers, this Gambit doesn't pay off.

Noel Murray

The Dissolve

Firth and Diaz, game as they are, look lost and disappointed most of the time during Gambit, as though they pictured themselves making Burn After Reading, and instead found themselves in The Ladykillers.

Rated: 1.5/5

AV Club

When the movie veers away from the verbal gymnastics of a bunch of colorful dopes out-dumbing one another and into overindulged farce, the specificity of the Coens' writing begins to fade.

This nominal remake of the 1966 art caper that starred Michael Caine and Shirley MacLaine has all the fizz of flat soda ...

No, there’s no avoiding the truth. The farce is – for now, at least – dead, and it’s very unlikely that uninspired homages like Gambit will revive it.

Rated: 2/5

Deep Focus Review

Never subtle and always over-the-top, nothing about this unnecessary remake suggests anything but a routine and painfully dull "madcap romp" in need of a distinct personality driving the production.

Rated: 1/4

...a disappointingly forgettable endeavor that could (and should) have been so much better.

Lots of good actors, but the plot is too contrived to be interesting. Kept my attention only off & on. Will say that I laughed out loud a few times.

It is funny to compare London and Texas in a matter of art!

Turned off after half an hour due to a boring nonexistent storyline, unlikeable characters and Diaz's awful fake accent

Enjoyable, light-hearted comedy with good writing and skilled comedic performances by some big names. You can watch it with your grandparents too.
