Consensus: Though the four actors are good together, the jokes are stale and not funny.

For a quartet of former wiseguys and lifelong friends, retirement is a degrading bore. Joey "Bats" (Burt Reynolds) is stuck working at Burger King, Bobby (Richard Dreyfuss) spends his time scouring Miami for his long-lost daughter, Tony (Seymour Cassel) is all washed up as a ladies' man, and Mike "The Brick" (Dan Hedaya) relives the glory days by sending Christmas cards to the old gang. It seems like old times when the boys run a little scam to protect their South Beach hotel from a yuppie invasion. Unfortunately, they run afoul of a drug kingpin in the process, and he soon comes looking for revenge. The result is a farcical entertainment, but also a case for the dignity and ability of the aged. Director Michael Dinner mines comedy from every vein--the mafia, old age, Jews and Hispanics--but relies on his four great, veteran principals to provide the best laughs and the pathos, as well. Bobby's personal story is the most fleshed-out, and Dreyfuss keeps the action moving, delivering the wry voiceover he perfected in STAND BY ME. [More]

Reviews for The Crew
My first reaction to The Crew was: 'Thank goodness it was only 88 minutes.'
Once the story clicks into gear, The Crew is a lot of fun. But that doesn't happen until after the midpoint.
... the worst of American popular culture; it is a lazy, condescending, formulaic film that the filmmakers didn’t even bother to finish
