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.

David Rooney

The Hollywood Reporter

This is the kind of disarming crowd-pleaser for which cringe-inducing clichés like “it will sneak up and steal your heart” were invented. What’s refreshing about Roofman is that it’s never too aggressive about it. It’s sentimental but sincere.

‘Roofman’ is a slick but incurious film that is so preoccupied with showing the what of Manchester’s story that it doesn’t bother to examine the why.

Rated: 2/4

Benjamin Lee

Guardian

It works mostly because of Tatum and Dunst, a rare on-screen pairing of single parents in their 40s, both trying to navigate a stressful situation, hard enough even without the criminality. There’s real chemistry there.

Rated: 3/5

Roofman quietly grows on you with its light-hearted account of economic necessity in harsh times.

VisAbleBlackwoman (Medium)

Tatum’s charm is the perfect match for this character. It’s hard not to like this guy. Yes, he’s smart when it comes to figuring out how to McGuiver himself out of and into situations, but he’s got no common sense.

Rated: 4/5

This is a surprisingly sad movie — just one that also happens to be funny.
