Chicago Sun-Times
In D.J. Caruso's Two for the Money, you can see Al Pacino doing something he's done a lot lately: Having a terrific time being an actor. - 75
New York Daily News
Too long by about 20 minutes, and takes itself too seriously near the end. But if you're looking for a movie for a boys' night out, it's a winner. - 63
Philadelphia Inquirer
It says in the beginning of the film that Two for the Money is "inspired by a true story." Problem is, it's just not that inspired. - 58
Entertainment Weekly
Sports betting is a great subject for a movie, but Two for the Money is short on the number-crunching nitty-gritty. - 50
L.A. Weekly
Dramatic failings are only exacerbated by D.J. Caruso's direction: He composes every frame as if for television -- despite the fact that the film is shot in widescreen -- and his visual style is about as cinematic as sports talk radio. - 50
The Hollywood Reporter
A muddled melodrama about the shady and questionable though not quite illegal world of "sports advisers." - 50
Variety
Despite nice touches, pic meanders in the middle and ends flatly. - 40
Village Voice
In keeping with his apparent ambition to play each character more berserk than the last, Pacino can't discuss wine choice without sounding on the brink of aneurysm.
