"Dealin' With Idiots," a sort of "Waiting for Guffman" for Little League, isn't a great movie, but it's a heck of a lot better than its title. August 15, 2013 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review…

Garlin's ultra-restrained approach suggests that attempting hilarity is sometimes a veiled defense mechanism. July 19, 2013 | Rating: B+ | Full Review…

There are a few inspired moments, but Garlin goes for easy laughs, and the actors' broad improvisations often fall flat. July 18, 2013 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

This isn't actually a movie about kiddie sports - it's a movie about Garlin interviewing the other parents and players to see if there's an interesting movie to be made at all. Answer: There isn't. July 18, 2013 | Rating: 1/5 | Full Review…

Garlin's second feature is consistently sweet, funny and smart. Keep it up. July 19, 2013 | Rating: 8.4/10 | Full Review…

To fully appreciate Dealin' with Idiots, the viewer must have some working knowledge of its writer/director/star Jeff Garlin. Or perhaps patience is a more accurate description. July 18, 2013 | Rating: B- | Full Review…

Much of Dealin' with Idiots feels improvised, which is okay when the actors are fully on their game. But here, perhaps the heat of the day and location or insufficiently precise direction have resulted in an awful lot of dead screen time. July 18, 2013 | Full Review…

The film is reduced to a series of unfunny mockery laid out so Garlin can display his trademark deadpan reaction. July 17, 2013 | Rating: 1.5/4 | Full Review…

Dealin' With Idiots is at its strongest when it forgets about plot ... altogether (which is most of the time) and gives itself over to the laid-back pleasure of improvisation among veteran professionals finding and exploring a good groove together. July 16, 2013 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

There's not much point in making a film about how different and dumb people are without giving the judgmental, one-man Greek chorus his own legitimate comeuppance. July 11, 2013 | Rating: 1.5/4 | Full Review…
