Loosies played in New York City and Los Angeles to fair reviews. Reviews were mixed. • Chuck Bowen wrote for Slant, "...feels made up as it went along, and not in the electrifyingly free-wheeling fashion of, say, a Godard or Altman film. This is an actor's film in the worst sense, as there's no consistent, overriding tone that speaks to the nominal story being told..." • And Gary Goldstein called the film in the Los Angeles Times, "...a largely enjoyable ride."   More Reviews Below...

BROAD NATIONAL PRESS (1 Review)
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly: GOOD (NOT GREAT) (cg)
"A harmless crime caper.... It's watchable piffle, but the only real note of surprise comes from Vincent Gallo, who plays Bobby's screw-tightening boss with rumpled conviction." (Read the full review...)

NEW YORK/LOS ANGELES/CHICAGO/TORONTO (6 Reviews)
Manohla Dargis, New York Times: FAIR
"There are a couple of movies, or rather a couple of story ideas, tucked in 'Loosies'... an amorphous, laugh-flecked drama about a New York City pickpocket that mostly comes across as a feature-length advertisement for its likable star and writer, Peter Facinelli." (Read the full review...)

Joe Neumaier, New York Daily News: POOR (cg)
"Peter Facinelli looks and acts like a graduate of the Tom Cruise School of Hustlers, but this is no 'Color of Money'... Ridiculous and mannered, 'Loosies' is light-fingered but heavy-handed." (Read the full review...)
151 words, 01/13/12

Gary Goldstein, Los Angeles Times: GOOD
"There's a certain shaggy, 1970s-era charm to 'Loosies'... a nicely acted, atmospheric gambol, directed with a light, occasionally random touch by Michael Corrente... a largely enjoyable ride." (Read the full review...)
234 words, 01/20/12

Kyle Smith, New York Post: POOR (cg)
"Romantic comedies are often as contrived and irritating as 'Loosies,' but few feature a lead character so lacking in appeal. A shameless vanity piece for its charm-free star and wit-deprived screenwriter, Peter Facinelli..." (Read the full review...)
200 words, 01/13/12

Nick Schager, Village Voice/LA Weekly: FAIR
"...has a bevy of colorful character actors -- from Michael Madsen and William Forsythe to Vincent Gallo and Joe Pantoliano -- but little character.... Michael Corrente's film is a mush of poses." (Read the full review...)

MOVIE INDUSTRY (4 Reviews)
Ronnie Scheib, Daily Variety: FAIR
"...weakly channels Sam Fuller's 'Pickup on South Street' but without the explosive action, iconic thesping and stylistic punch.... offers some funky down-home Gothamites, a few minor thrills, strained romantic banter and an improbably convenient solution to its central conflict."

John DeFore, Hollywood Reporter: WEAK
"...a vanity project that might have stayed afloat had star/writer Peter Facinelli only tried to sell himself as a none-too-bright crook on the run from bad luck. Making romance a big part of the mix dooms a movie already saddled with one of the worst titles in recent memory." (Read the full review...)
