Martin Tsai Los Angeles Times Eyeballs will inevitably roll as the film sets a bar brawl to "Sabre Dance" and an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting to the sea chantey "Drunken Sailor." Dec 23, 2014 Full Review Farran Smith Nehme New York Post The script putters around aimlessly; the camerawork was more varied on "Cheers." Rated: 1/4 Dec 6, 2013 Full Review Neil Genzlinger New York Times A slight movie that could have been significantly better with a little story doctoring. Dec 5, 2013 Full Review Marsha McCreadie Film Journal International Live at the Foxes Den is like a sketch of an idea of what life might be like if you could keep doing re-dos.

Audience Member Jackson Rathbone in suits, & sings swing. The directing & writing are both kinda awful unfortunately. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member "Live at the Foxes Den" is a stunningly good movie. A story of the age-old dilemma between having a "job" and chucking it all to follow your passions - with a twist in the outcome. First-time prodigy Director Michael Kristoff has delivered a mesmerizing film with a great story, where each major character has a back story. Jackson Rathbone is charismatic and sings with passion as he navigates between his corporate legal job and his talent for old time, Sinatra-like songs in a bar - better characterized as a "lounge" - by its charming bartender running a place that had seen its better days 'til Rathbone - as Bobby Kelly - shows up. Elliot Gould plays a version of himself, with another plot twist. The film mesmerized me such that at one point after a set of songs, I found myself clapping out loud, before I realized that the applause was coming from within the movie. I found myself laughing and crying. The story is written by Kristoff and one of the leads - who plays the pianist and brilliantly acts out a lot of tragedy in his life via arrested emotional development, humor and pathos. The movie is beautifully filmed and with some of humor morphs into Woody Allen-like effect. Go see "Live at the Foxes Den" and be an early buyer of Director Michael Kristoff's career "stock" that will soon take off. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member I just saw this movie over the weekend and loved it. If you enjoy outstanding piano and singing, this movie is for you. The storyline kept my interest throughout with some unexpected twists. The broad spectrum of personalities were well suited by the actors and actresses. What a pleasure to see a movie without what seems to be the token violence included. If you are unable to get to a theater I noticed that this movie is also available through video on demand. Kevin C. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Just saw "Live at the Foxes Den" this evening. What a refreshing film. Great actors - music and very entertaining. If you want to see a film that hasn't been made in years that you can just sit back and enjoy - this one is for you. I wish more film makers would do more films like this. I would will tell everyone I know to go and see it - YOU WILL ENJOY EVERY MINUTE. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member I thought this little movie was fabulous. My friends and I thoroughly enjoyed the story and the songs and the performances. Strongly recommend it if you want a unique movie experience.
