Leave your thoughts about A Bag of Hammers.
| AV ClubScott TobiasThe film has an earnest quality that asserts itself more and more as it sputters along, and the men reveal more personal reasons to insert themselves into the boy's life. It's a good lesson for other films of its ilk: Leaving the world of indie disaffection is an important first step on the road to greatness. |
| VarietyJoe LeydonFirst-time feature helmer Brian Crano maneuvers some tricky tonal shifts with impressive ease in A Bag of Hammers, a droll, quirky comedy with a pleasant amount of heart. |
| MovielineAlison WillmoreIt's a film that should be appallingly twee, but more often than not is actually scruffy and sweet, thanks to a nicely underplayed turn by Chandler Canterbury as the kid, Kelsey, and the chemistry between Jason Ritter and Jake Sandvig as hipster grifters Ben and Alan. |
| EricDSnider.comEric D. SniderHappy, uncynical, and heartfelt, so gosh-darned likable that any flaws in its methods are easily overlooked. |
| New York Daily NewsElizabeth WeitzmanWoven amid the glib one-liners and contrived scenarios is an unexpected, and undeniably touching, sense of heart. |
| Cinema SignalsJules BrennerIt's not difficult to project that Crano's charming anti-heros, in later life, will be swindling vulnerable little old ladies out of their homes and nest eggs. |
| New York ObserverRex ReedMost of it seems baffled and unclear. Some nice ideas floating around in here, but A Bag of Hammers is one of the few movies I can remember that appears to be composed mainly of outtakes. |
| New York PostLou LumenickRebecca Hall is wasted as Sandvig's sister and the film's voice of reason. |
| Easy Reader (California)Neely SwansonRarely overly sentimental and definitely humorous, this is a skewed journey into adulthood that is worth taking. |
| New York TimesAndy WebsterAny film tossing comic interludes among its closing credits has to be convinced of their hilarity and of the good will the movie has earned with viewers by then. Perhaps the film's naked traffic in sentiment up to that point made Mr. Crano so bold. Whatever; his confidence was unwarranted. |
