Yonkers Joe hustles, setting up schemes to cheat at cards and dice. He has a girlfriend, Janice, but does he care about her or just need a partner in his cons? He's working out a scam of casinos, gathering intelligence in Atlantic City. The fly in the ointment is his son, Joe Jr., a mentally-challenged young man about to turn 21, aging out of a group home, belligerent as the move to an adult home and his father's lack of contact upset him. Joe Jr.'s counselor insists that Joe take his son for awhile to calm him down and prepare him for the transfer. Can a mentally-challenged, unloved kid make his way with grifters? Can a father discover new emotions? What about scamming the casinos?
Leave your thoughts about Yonkers Joe.
| Philadelphia Daily NewsGary ThompsonCelestino's bid to wrap everything up in tidy fashion feels at odds with the grittiness of the film's first two-thirds, but in the end, the movie's glimpse into a seldom-seen slice of life sticks with you. |
| CinematicalJoel KellerA very well-made and well-acted film, with a very touching story about fathers, sons, and the difficulties of raising special needs kids. |
| indieWireLeo GoldsmithMostly strong, that is, with the major exception of Tom Guiry's portrayal of Joe Jr. Painfully broad, Guiry practically sinks the film with garishly slack-jawed and over-the-top manchildishness. |
| Monsters and CriticsRon WilkinsonA sweet and tidy neo-noir underworld thriller with a heart, thanks to excellent performances by the lead trio and a great setting in the seedy underworld of gambling con-artists. |
| Newark Star-LedgerStephen WhittyA nicely photographed, mostly satisfying look at a gang of East Coast sharps and how they part marks from their money. |
| Village VoiceMichelle OrangeLahti burns through a thinly written role with a surprising level of warmth and humanity. |
| Shared DarknessBrent SimonPalminteri helps the film earn very slight passing marks, if only mostly because it's interesting to see these old operators have to adapt their schemes for new times. |
| Filmcritic.comNorm SchragerIf you can watch Yonkers Joe without thinking it's a mild Rain Man rip-off, you'll enjoy a film that could have been plagued with plot issues, but rises above it |
| Movie RetrieverBrian TallericoYonkers Joe is like a so-so trip to Vegas, one where you lose as much as you gain gambling. In other words, it's not the trip you're most likely to tell your friends about. |
| AV ClubNoel MurrayYonkers Joe is largely concerned with the delicate balance between a crook's business life and his personal life--a balance the movie itself has trouble managing effectively. |
