      Critics Consensus

      Riegert makes this low-key, rueful comedy about mid-life angst appealing.

      Audience Member good & funny about life's ups & downs... Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member good & funny about life's ups & downs... Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member (***): [img]http://images.rottentomatoes.com/images/user/icons/icon14.gif[/img] A very strong cast and an interesting screenplay kept me going with it. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member The only interesting question this film asks is, "Why wasn't this sent straight to DVD?" Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Moments of this film reminded me of Alexander Payne's great library of male dysfunction -- "Election," "About Schmidt," "Sideways" -- not because King of the Corner actually reaches Payne's plane, but because I wish it had tried. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member way to go Shapiro... This was a sweet movie. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Jason Anderson Globe and Mail As a portrait of an average guy who makes average mistakes, it conveys wit and wisdom without leaning too heavily on schmaltz. Rated: 2.5/4 Feb 10, 2006 Full Review John Hartl Seattle Times Although it's not a flashy debut, Riegert demonstrates an unfailing generosity toward his fellow actors that takes him far. Rated: 3/4 Sep 30, 2005 Full Review Ann Hornaday Washington Post It's a warm, unexpectedly moving portrait of a man on the verge of what could either be a dreadful or delightful second chapter. Sep 22, 2005 Full Review Common Sense Media Editors Common Sense Media A story of maturity and consequences -- teens OK Rated: 4/5 Jan 1, 2011 Full Review Prairie Miller Long Island Press A punishing but also compassionate spotlight on a New York City corporate marketeer, and the result is really the movie screen as two way mirror, warts and all. Mar 26, 2007 Full Review Liz Braun Jam! Movies A pleasant comedy with plenty of heart and a cast that makes it worth the price of admission. Rated: 2.5/5 Feb 10, 2006 Full Review Read all reviews
