Leave your thoughts about All Square.
| New York TimesGlenn KennyHyams directs Timothy Brady’s script appropriately if not brilliantly (Hyams is also credited as a co-editor), but the movie’s main attraction, finally, is its cast. |
| CinemalogueTodd JorgensonThe offbeat concept finds a balance of humor and sentiment, while Kelly generates sympathy for a morally conflicted loner. |
| Hollywood ReporterNeil YoungStands on its own as a small-scale enterprise which makes some telling points about much bigger issues relating to American society, sports and community ties. |
| Hammer to NailChristopher Llewellyn ReedFrom director John Hyams ... and writer Timothy Brady ... comes All Square, a rough and rowdy gem of a movie that tells of small stakes with big consequences. |
| Den of GeekDavid CrowKelly offers a breezy and conversational voiceover that sounds a lot like a guy sitting next to you at a bar who wants you to buy into his Ponzi scheme. The more cynical viewer may be wary, yet all still enjoy hearing the prattle. |
| Los Angeles TimesKevin CrustA good supporting cast — including Isiah Whitlock Jr., Harris Yulin, Tom Everett Scott and Josh Lucas as a hindrance to John’s plans — gives Kelly much to play off, but the story is too rote to get worked up about any of the conflicts. |
| VarietyJoe LeydonAway from the baseball diamond, All Square effectively pivots to moments of surprisingly affecting drama. |
| Movie NationRoger MooreI didn’t expect to like it, and Timothy Brady’s script never quite hits that “sleeper” sweet spot. But All Square rides its spot-on casting, sharply defined performances and beer-stained sense of place well past second base, if not all the way home. |
| Film ThreatMatthew PassantinoBy the time John's inevitable redemptive arc comes around, it feels like we've witnessed All Square many times before. |
| User ReviewLauraFI'm a huge Michael Kelly fan and couldn't wait to see All Square. He didn't disappoint me. Loved his relationship with Brian, the twelve year old boy in the story. We all have challenges in our lives, and usually we don't make big monumental changes as we learn our life lessons. Michael Kelly's character, John, made a believable small step forward at the end of the movie, and that seemed realistic to me. Best part of this movie were the characters. I really enjoyed this movie. |
