    Simon Foster, sbs.com.au One can't help but feel there must have been a little more meat on the bones of the script at some point. Full review External link

    Andrew L. Urban, Urban Cinefile A thoroughly entertaining heist movie with enough ballast to make it real, and also enough comedy to make it a great entertainment Full review External link

    Louise Keller, Urban Cinefile Brilliantly executed with hilarious ideas and a first-class cast, Tower Heist is a sparkling and original caper Full review External link

    Tom Brennan, Dark Horizons The film is armed with an amazing cast, and while not the greatest heist story ever told, the bottom line is that Tower Heist is a lot of fun. Full review External link

    Richard Roeper, Richard Roeper.com Cheerfully crappy schlock. Full review External link

    Eric D. Snider, Film.com Made me laugh and held my interest more than it should have, given how sloppy it is. Call it an acceptable bit of B-minus work from a C student. Full review External link
  7. Positive review
    Tom Long, Detroit News So what if it's sheer petty escapist enjoyment? Tower Heist delivers the laughs in desperate times. Full review External link
  8. Negative review
    Peter Rainer, Christian Science Monitor Alan Alda plays the billionaire, and his oleaginous smarm is so good that you almost wish Alda were starring in a hard-edged movie about Madoff instead of this goofy heist picture that takes way too long getting to the heist. Full review External link
  9. Positive review
    Robert Levin, The Atlantic This is, of course, Hollywood schlock, directed by shlock-master Brett Ratner. But it's also a surprisingly effective social drama. Full review External link
  10. Negative review
    J. R. Jones, Chicago Reader Highly recommended if you want to watch an assortment of rich movie stars feel your pain. Full review External link
  11. Positive review
    Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail The latest comedy-action film from director Brad Ratner is a shaggy affair, but it's intermittently inspired in its action sequences and the comic business of its sprawling cast. Full review External link
