Great movie with a decent cast and enticing plot.
Christian Science Monitor
Peter Rainer
If only director Robert Luketic and screenwriters Peter Steinfeld and Allan Loeb had not opted for glitz. As filmmakers, they're playing for very low stakes.
MSNBC
Alonso Duralde
The only element in 21 that saves the film from being a dreary coming-of-age story grafted onto a two-hour commercial for the Las Vegas Visitors and Convention Bureau is Spacey.
I.E. Weekly
Amy Nicholson
Like the Strip itself, it's all lights and music throbbing so hard you confuse yourself into thinking you're having fun.
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
The students are so blandly written this never builds any suspense, though it probably has some value as an empowerment fantasy for debt-ridden collegians.
Ebert & Roeper
Richard Roeper
Although it's definitely a fictionalization of a true story, they get the essence of this insanely crazy double life that these kids led as they were breaking the bank in Vegas.
Chicago Sun-Times
Jim Emerson
Inspired by the real-life story of the M.I.T. students who took Las Vegas casinos for millions, 21 has been reshaped to fit a simple movie template -- and it's nearly as much fun as watching an insurance professional compute actuarial tables.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
A movie with an irresistible premise that ultimately collapses around the whole issue of motivation.
The Hollywood Reporter
John DeFore
Real-life rags-to-riches Vegas scheme makes for glossy if lightweight fun.
USA Today
Claudia Puig
Repetitive, implausible and overlong.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
21 doesn't quite hit the jackpot, but with popcorn it should satisfy.
Wall Street Journal
Joanne Kaufman
A none-too-winning blend of the unsettling and the unsurprising.
AV Club
Scott Tobias
Before sinking into a predictable morality tale, 21 coasts on the superficial thrill of watching casinos take a few hits, but gamblers looking for a how-to lesson on winning in Vegas will be putting their pencils down pretty quickly.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
The fascinating story of six college students who took Las Vegas for millions gets dealt a bad hand in 21, which turns their true-life saga into a slick, shallow and thoroughly generic caper flick.
New York Daily News
Elizabeth Weitzman
There's enough action here to keep you awake, but don't expect to walk away a winner.
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Crust
When the makers of the blackjack drama 21 stepped up to the table to place their bets, they opted to play it safe.
Detroit News
Tom Long
It's disposable, watchable and forgettable filmmaking for would-be easy millionaires.
Denver Post
Lisa Kennedy
The film is about a group of MIT students who used a very smart card-counting system to milk the casinos. But the movie blows off the deeper thrills of its source material to make a tidier, less compelling amorality play.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
While you may stick with the film -- it's a slick time-waster -- you never believe it.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
By the time the end credits roll around, you realize nothing's actually been risked. It's the gambling equivalent of Go Fish.
