Leave your thoughts about Bob Funk.
| Los Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinIf you can get through the tedious first half of Bob Funk, there's actually a decent little character study waiting on the other side. |
| NYC Movie GuruAvi OfferMuch like its titular character, the film itself has some serious growing up to do and needs a strong dose of warmth and charisma. |
| Combustible CelluloidJeffrey M. AndersonThe dry, witty first half is far more interesting, even if it's ultimately more amusing than funny. |
| Film Journal InternationalEric MonderA solid cast helps this quirky little comedy of existential angst. |
| Boxoffice MagazineMark KeizerA showcase for writer/director Craig Carlisle, Bob Funk is a broad, functional contrivance that has its jaunty moments, but doesn't work as a whole. |
| Village VoiceMelissa AndersonWith all due respect to Leo Tolstoy, all unhappy film families in which someone ascends those "12 steps" are exactly alike. |
| The New York TimesNathan LeeLooks like a comedy, acts like a comedy and sounds like a comedy, but it isn't funny. This is a problem in a movie that aims for laughs. |
| User ReviewMary PHilarious dark comedy with an all-star cast! |
| User ReviewAndrea MNot perfect, but really enjoyable. The second half was better. But... They say they counted 12 reviews for this film but like... four of them are the same review in different papers. That seems unfair. The film is worth watching. |
| User ReviewGavin KPeople seem to have slated this film but if you just give it a chance and look at it in a different light 'bob funk' is a classic black comedy picking the light side of alcoholism whilst still maintaining the dark side of things. |
