Summary of Welcome to Collinwood

WELCOME TO COLLINWOOD is a knee-slapping physical comedy wrapped in a rich and enigmatic visual package from directors Anthony and Joseph Russo. It oozes with good stuff like old-time vaudeville, silent film hijinks, and grubby antiheroes similar to those of O BROTHER WHERE ART THOU and RAISING ARIZONA. A group of petty criminals in Cleveland's East End join forces to rob a jewelry 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. COLLINWOOD 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.

The Onion (A.V. Club)

A low-key charmer that balances half a dozen winning performances, Welcome To Collinwood's momentum occasionally stalls, and it doesn't always produce laughs. Full Review

The New York Times

What the movie lacks in polish, though, it makes up for in pluck, enthusiasm and slapstick shamelessness. Full Review
