Don't let Knoxville's Jackass pedigree put you off - he can be subtle as well as gross. Full Review |

What I responded to most about Grand Theft Parsons is that it tells the story without excess sentimentality...a funny, engaging movie that’s worth seeking out. Full Review |

Inspired by a true story, pic travels down familiar genre highways, but quirky humor and an apt soundtrack make for a pleasant enough journey. Full Review |

|
What could have served as a colorful episode in a more expansive film about the famed singer has instead become the premise of a mildly entertaining but overextended road movie that doesn't succeed on either dramatic or comedic terms. Full Review |

Grand Theft Parsons showcases some of Parsons's songs, but ... in the end it is a tribute to a man who stayed true to his word. Full Review |

|
2/4 |
The Phil-Larry dynamic makes up most of the movie and the strain of turning an anecdote into an demi-epic can be felt throughout the movie. Full Review |
||
|
2/5 |
A dramatically inert buddy-road picture that's too shapeless to ever click. Full Review |
||
|
2.5/4 |
Gram Parsons' last rites were among the most extraordinary in rock history. Too bad this retelling of the singer's final adventure is so tame. Full Review |

|
2/5 |
It's an aggravating film that seems content to skim the surface before folding up its tent after a scant 88 minutes. Full Review |
||
|
2/4 |
A ho-hum, meandering road movie, albeit with an extremely cool soundtrack. Full Review |

Parsons' memory deserves a better movie than this. Full Review |

|
|
Caffrey keeps the energy level high, and has populated the supporting roles with the most comical-looking character types ever assembled outside of a David Lynch film. Full Review |

|
2/5 |
The script ... leaves a lot to be desired, strewn with dialogue as flat and stale as old beer and some invented characters who make the events depicted seem more silly than anarchic. Full Review |

2/5 |
Since his death in 1973, the country singer Gram Parsons's legend has become a figure of worshipful legend, to which this rambling, low-key movie makes a modest contribution. Full Review |
