Leave your thoughts about Small Time.
| Film Journal InternationalMarsha McCreadieToss in some scenes cleverly reminiscent of the spritzy routines of Diner (but with older folks) and the boiler-room sales tactics of Glengarry Glen Ross, and you've got the best highlights of Small Time... |
| Village VoiceZachary WigonThe film isn't without mirth and charm... But as Surnow steers into serious waters, the direction of the storytelling becomes increasingly misguided. |
| The PlaylistKevin JagernauthInert from the start, and presented with little emotional depth or weight, Small Time gets the car started but doesn't go anywhere interesting. |
| Orange County RegisterMichael SragowWriter-director Joel Surnow, the co-creator of 24, makes an assured, tangy feature debut with this semi-autobiographical story. |
| Los Angeles TimesBetsy SharkeyDon't let the title of this indie gem fool you, Small Time has humor and heart big time. |
| Reel Film ReviewsDavid Nusair...a decent yet unspectacular debut that could (and should) have been so much better... |
| The DissolveJordan HoffmanSmall Time is impressive, just slightly, because it’s the one thing used-car salesmen are rarely accused of being: honest. |
| The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckThe writer-director’s affection for his characters — the script is loosely autobiographical -- is both palpable and infectious. |
| Arizona RepublicBill GoodykoontzIt just sort of chugs along in predictable fashion, bolstered by a couple of good performances here, thrown off-track every now and then by implausible or unearned developments there, but overall a decent effort. |
| New York TimesStephen HoldenSmall Time is agreeably sentimental meat-and-potatoes fare with strong dashes of humor, executed with a sincerity that’s hard to resist. |
