In a perfect world, Janeane Garofalo would be in every movie. That way, when the rest of the show bogged down, we'd still have her morbid wit and wry spin to hold onto.

Reviews for Clay Pigeons
Vince Vaughn steals the film as Lester Long. Vaughn is very natural in front of a camera with an easy charm and grace.

Clay Pigeons isn't a great film -- it's black and it's a comedy, but never enough of either -- but it is supremely interesting to watch.

A blithe homicidal romp set in backwoods Montana that hits the bullseye on charm, cleverness, sharp performances, and glib humor but misses the substance target altogether.

If Vince Vaughn ever becomes the kind of legendary actor to whom repertory movie houses dedicate retrospectives, Clay Pigeons will be the movie everyone claims as their favorite from his early career.

Within Clay Pigeons is a smaller story that might have involved us more, but it's buried by overkill.

Top CriticI didn't mind not knowing from one moment to the next where Clay Pigeons might take me. I did mind that by the time I got where it was taking me, I didn't much care.

A film that delights by confounding expectations.

Top CriticAlthough there is not a lot to recommend the film, there isn't anything much to criticize either. It is an enjoyable enough little movie, and Garofalo is always fun to watch.

To call this a creepy black comedy is a serious understatement.

Top CriticThe performances are terrific -- especially Vince Vaughn, who makes a formidable cowboy, and is a real scene stealer.
