The Kid Stays in the Picture is not simply an informative documentary. It is a witty, funny, wildly entertaining, and often poignant look at the last man to truly control Tinseltown.

Reviews for The Kid Stays in the Picture
A blessed gift to film geeks and historians. If the '70's were your idea of a good time at the movies, this will make you very happy.
09/04/02
Aggressive self-glorification and a manipulative whitewash. Stay for the credits and see a devastating comic impersonation by Dustin Hoffman that is revelatory.
09/02/02
A whole lot of fun.
08/31/02
Evans' narration (taken from the memoirs and compiled by Morgen) makes it consistently interesting.
08/30/02
A colorful and captivating biography… So sly and mischievously engaging that at times you feel like it could be the first movie to actually buy you drinks and shag you silly.

'... paints a remarkably compelling portrait of the prototype producer, a man who has accomplished what many can only daydream about...'

08/24/02
There's a disreputable air about the whole thing, and that's what makes it irresistible.
08/23/02
Even at his most obnoxious, Evans remains a fascinating figure.
08/23/02
One of the best inside-show-biz yarns ever.
08/23/02
For a life lived boldly and productively if imperfectly, Robert Evans deserves this trenchant, revealing, vastly entertaining documentary.
08/23/02
Top CriticGiddy, absurdly entertaining account of Evans' rise and fall in the movie biz.
08/23/02
Top CriticWhile the now 72-year-old Robert Evans been slowed down by a stroke, he has at least one more story to tell: his own.
08/22/02
An engrossing portrait of a man whose engaging manner and flamboyant style made him a truly larger-than-life character.
08/21/02
Though it's equally solipsistic in tone, the movie has enough vitality to justify the notion of creating a screen adaptation of Evans' saga of Hollywood excess.
08/20/02
This kid certainly stayed in the picture and was resilient enough to stick around and witness the rolling ending credits of his own tantalizing production.
08/18/02
This is classic Hollywood, at its best and worst, sticky rich and scabrous.
