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.

Jesse Hassenger

AV Club

It's nice to see Cianfrance working in a less melodramatic key, with conflict at a low simmer, and he doesn’t cop out on the reality of the situation.

A very strange but very entertaining movie.

Peter Travers

The Travers Take

Channing Tatum and Kirsten Dunst find the heart but not the bruised soul in a true-life crime drama from director Derek Cianfrance that should have cut deeper and hurt more.

Rated: 2.5/4

Yasser Medina

Cinefilia

It's a heist film that also works as a romantic comedy, but Cianfrance achieves a balance that always keeps it entertaining and captivating thanks to Channing Tatum's performance. [Full review in Spanish]

La Nación (Argentina)

Director Derek Cianfrance (Blue Valentine) made an affable film, which tries to please everyone and, in that process, sacrificed a better film. [Full review in Spanish]

Movie was not what we expected, judging from commercials. Fortunately it was a good story with a heartfelt feeling.

Solid performances all around. Something a little different than the typical derivative stuff we're seeing so much these days.

This was a fun likeable movie, but the ending was always predictable. The characters were good and many of the scenes were funny and/or heart-warming. It is based on a true story and I think they stayed pretty close to that reality. I didn't care for the way the main character abandoned his first family (other than holding onto a photograph), while adopting a new family. I liked this movie, but I didn't love it. Acting was all very good.
