Based on an unbelievable true story, Roofman follows Jeffrey Manchester (Channing Tatum), an Army veteran and struggling father who turns to robbing McDonald's restaurants by cutting holes in their roofs, earning him the nickname: Roofman. After escaping prison, he secretly lives inside a Toys "R" Us for six months, surviving undetected while planning his next move. But when he falls for Leigh (Kirsten Dunst), a divorced mom drawn to his undeniable charm, his double life begins to unravel, setting off a compelling and suspenseful game of cat and mouse as his past closes in.

Critics Consensus

A disarmingly sweet tonal gearshift for director Derek Cianfrance, Roofman is shaggy as a narrative but expertly tailored to Channing Tatum's strengths as an eminently likable leading man.

Audience Says

An unbelievable true story that had to be told on film, Roofman features surprisingly funny, heartfelt performances that make it impossible not to root for its winsome conman hero.

Clarisse Loughrey

Independent (UK)

Cianfrance’s touch eventually helps shift the perspective away from the easy comedy of Manchester’s life, and towards a more subtle – and quite moving – portrait of a man desperate for a second shot at normality...

Rated: 4/5

Observer (UK)

Channing Tatum is a goofy delight in this engaging if overlong caper.

RANGE Magazine

Despite some heavy-handed narration and a missed opportunity to probe the veteran psyche post-9/11, Roofman remains a funny, heartfelt exercise in authenticity—one that, like its loveable thief, steals your heart before you notice.

AWFJ.org

hypes its true-story roots but might have worked better as a documentary. ... the film leans on Tatum’s considerable charm instead of fleshing out the motivations and flaws of its main character.
