Christian Science Monitor Peter Rainer
As a writer-director, Edward Burns is as industrious as an occupational therapist. He makes sure each of his people is well positioned for happiness.

The Groomsmen captures a single, specific moment, when responsibilities await but adulthood is still unwelcome. If their predicament strikes a chord, you may want to join Burns' boys for their final hurrah.

The Hollywood Reporter Kirk Honeycutt
Edward Burns' best riff yet on guys trying to sort out their feelings about women.

TV Guide Magazine Maitland McDonagh
Leguizamo deserves real kudos for making what he does of T.C., who is the film's walking lesson in how to undermine elitist clichés about working-class Long Island.

Variety Ronnie Scheib
Burns' always impressive sense of place lends authenticity to the pals' perambulations, and the stellar cast brings a welcome overabundance of personality to regrettably one-note roles.

Wall Street Journal Joe Morgenstern
The movie snaps sharply to life every now and then, and its unfashionable decency really gets to you.

Village Voice
Fatally conventional in nearly every respect, the movie would be easy to dismiss were it not for Burns's frustrating knack for inserting unexpectedly truthful moments amid all the dross.

The New York Times Stephen Holden
The biggest hole in a movie that falls sadly short of being another "Diner" or "Trees Lounge" is Mr. Burns's failure to make his alter-ego character anything other than the best-looking and most affluent member of the pack, standing there and discreetly gloating.

After sitting through this movie, you will want to throw something more pungent than rice at The Groomsmen.
