Critic Reviews of "The Great Buck Howard"
indieWireAugust 08, 2009Malkovich's titular mentalist is the primary focus of attention%u2014and sadly the source of many of the film's unique problems. In a career of strange performances, Malkovich turns in a true curiosity here%u2014and maybe it's because he is not, for once,
Film.comApril 09, 2009This is not a rare movie, but it does have a warm red center. It's likable, and its appeal grows as it recovers from a shaky start and finds its footing.
Minneapolis Star TribuneMarch 27, 2009Buck Howard is Malkovich's show. When's he's off the screen, the film sputters, but while he's on-camera, it's magical.
DeadspinJune 22, 2013It's a light, weightless, mostly pointless show business homage, and you're likely to forget it about it halfway through.
Times-PicayuneJuly 24, 2009The problem isn't so much in the film's clumsy, hand-holding narration, or in its forced quirkiness. Rather it's that its most interesting character -- the one they named the thing after -- isn't the main character.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)April 15, 2009By no means a great film, but it makes up in modest pleasantness what it lacks in weightiness.
Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)April 10, 2009Sleight of hand is among a magician's greatest assets, but even the most gullible rubes will be able to follow most of writer-director Sean McGinly's telegraphed moves in this agreeable but lightweight film...
Arkansas Democrat-GazetteApril 10, 2009...a charming, pleasantly diverting movie that is hard to dislike.
