Critic Reviews for The Flamingo Kid
All Critics (18) | Top Critics (6) | Fresh (15) | Rotten (3) | DVD (1)
The movie has an engaging surface, but it's all surface -- it's like watching an outsize TV.

Dillon does a good job in his fullest, least narcissistic characterization to date.
The performances compensate, with Dillon turning in a light and touching portrait of confused ambitions.

Dillon is a revelation in this movie.
Even if The Flamingo Kid comes out of sit-com country, the character and the performance effortlessly rise above their origins.

Professionally made, quite entertaining, and disappointingly hollow.
Audience Reviews for The Flamingo Kid
I don't know if it's because I'm not a fan of Dillon like some other people who reviewed this film, but I didn't think his performance was so great. I just couldn't get into this movie, and found it boring.
