Leave your thoughts about Write When You Get Work.
| Film ExperienceMurtada ElfadlIt's a hodgepodge; a love story, a heist movie, social satire. Yet none of them work. The love story is creepy at times. The heist isn't that exciting and has very low stakes . And the social satire has no bite. |
| Showbiz JunkiesRebecca MurrayWrite When You Get Work has the bones of a good story but gets bogged down by playing too loosey-goosey with logic while staging the theft of millions. |
| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfWell-made with appealing performances, with Cochran laboring to retain as much feeling and history as possible while still tending to the expectations of a crime story. |
| Film InquiryKristy StrouseThe beginning of Write When You Get Work, while inviting, levies the movie with a novel approach, but doesn't keep it together. |
| The Film StageJared MobarakSo we’re left with a problematic façade that can’t avoid tainting the thought-provoking crime mystery unfolding beneath it. |
| jackiekcooper.comJackie K. CooperWittrock, Keller and Mortimer make this quirky film interesting. They bring a freshness to their roles and the screenplay isn't half bad either. |
| New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisNeither remotely credible nor more than minimally entertaining, Stacy Cochran’s New York City romance, Write When You Get Work, presents rich folk as gullible idiots and blue-collar crooks as heroes. |
| Movie NationRoger MooreCochran has conjured up a caper that’s just clever enough and characters just winning enough to hold our interest long enough to be surprised at the resolution to the puzzle that she conjures up. |
| Eye for FilmJennie KermodeIts resolution may have been playful and funny when used 40 years ago in a certain Jackie Chan film, but here it's just twee. |
| RogerEbert.comSheila O'MalleyThere are some interesting things going on, and some insight into New York's economic hierarchy, but the film veers off into a hard-to-believe crime heist, and, ultimately, none of it really hangs together. |
