65 minutes is just enough time to get invested in the characters and the game and not enough time to get bored with the fairly repetitive nature of its structure. Go to Full Review Christopher Bell IndieWire 04/30/2020
B+
Rarely has a bunch of friends on their last legs been portrayed so authentically, with a refusal to push in emotionally for that cheap audience tear. Go to Full Review Neil Genzlinger New York Times 06/02/2011

It's only an hour long, but the characters manage to entertain and introduce themselves as well as a more traditional film could ever hope to do. Go to Full Review Daniel Carlson Pajiba 06/23/2011

04/02/2012 It was enchanting, and you couldn't love each character enough. See more 11/05/2011 Funny and natural. Felt like a lot of improv and ad lib. See more 06/23/2011 A wonderfully realistic film playing out in real-time, Turkey Bowl, draws us into the sweet, sad, and sarcastic world of a particular group of friends who cling to their friendships through the ritual of an annual touch football game. While it risks little in terms of stakes, the ease at which the characters bounce off each other is a reminder of how important our friends have been to us and how important it was for us to break away from them. Equal parts present and nostalgic, Turkey Bowl, gives us a moment of splendor and safety to ponder where we have been and where we are going. Two thumbs up. Go see it. See more 06/12/2011 The film had it's funny moments and the characters grow on you eventually but it felt like watching an hour episode of Friends. 30 minutes would've sufficed or maybe even less.
