Critics Consensus

The King of Staten Island's uncertain tone and indulgent length blunt this coming-of-age dramedy's ability to find itself, but Pete Davidson's soulful performance holds it together.

Tinha detestado o filme, besteirol clássico, drogas, personagens abobados, jovem inconsequentes, clichezão... Até aparecerem as crianças e o pai, até às piadas melhoram, roubaram as cenas, e o filme acendeu, bem como o comportamento abestado e imaturo do protagonista... Tive até que pesquisar sobre a fecundação dos percevejos... No fundo, no fundo é um filme lindo, sobre heróis e as perdas decorrente disso... E ainda me emocionei em alguns momentos no final... Lindo lindo...

Tim Robey

Daily Telegraph (UK)

Every time he makes a film these days, it's as if Apatow got carried away at the pick-and-mix and walked off without realising the bag has split.

Rated: 2/5

Todd McCarthy

Deadline Hollywood Daily

It's a film full of characters who have to say "I'm sorry" a lot. Bottom line, though-they're all quite recognizably and vibrantly human.

Jake Wilson

The Age (Australia)

If you're prepared to give Davidson a chance, Apatow's entertainment instincts and a well-chosen supporting cast are enough to ensure the film never becomes an outright drag.

Rated: 3/5

Manuel São Bento

MSB Reviews

The King of Staten Island employs a very well-known (and a bit overused) formula that goes on for way too long, but Judd Apatow balances it with a hilariously dark sense of humor, with the help of his co-writers, Pete Davidson and Dave Sirus.

Rated: B-
