A group of petty criminals in Cleveland's East End join forces to rob a jewellery store by breaking through an adjoining wall from an empty apartment. An easy job becomes a nightmare when a beautiful woman moves into the apartment, ruining their plans. COLLINWOOD paints a tragically impoverished netherworld of Cleveland's East Side. Quirky career criminals Pero (Sam Rockwell), Basil (Andrew Davoli), and Toto (Michael Jeter), crawl around in burnt-out buildings speaking their own kind of cross-cultural language, passed on by generations of ex-cons. WELCOME TO COLLINWOOD is a physical comedy wrapped in a rich and enigmatic visual package from directors Anthony and Joseph Russo. It includes references to old-time vaudeville, silent film hi-jinks, and grubby antiheroes similar to those of O BROTHER WHERE ART THOU and RAISING ARIZONA. The film uses an impressive array of talented actors including William H. Macy, Sam Rockwell, Isaiah Washington, and George Clooney, who produced this film with Steven Soderbergh. Excellent, touching performances by Patricia Clarkson, Gabrielle Union, and Jennifer Esposito also add to the film's cohesive group dynamic.

Broad comedy that totally misfires; Clooney, in a minor role, disguises himself as a rabbi but fails to lift the spirits.

A curate's egg
This had the potential to be a really funny movie. The result is some rather weak set ups but some well executed slapstick comedy. Worth watching.

Bit of a clone but still funny
'Welcome to Colinwood' has obvious parallels to the Coen brother's output in terms of oddball characters in a distinct setting. It is to the credit ... read more »

Boring....
I lasted less than 10minutes, so it got switched off and I watched Jamie Oliver on TV instead - much more riveting!.
