It sets itself up as satire but then has nothing much to say.June 12, 2015
"The 100-Year-Old-Man" is wonderfully inventive, silly fun.May 14, 2015
Eccentric, wry and highly entertaining.July 10, 2015
... (a) quirky, whimsical life-spanning comedy...February 10, 2016
Surreal and very silly.June 25, 2015
It's never explained what Allan's mental state is, other than lovable geriatric rascal-itis, an irritating trope that hardly constitutes a certifiable condition.May 29, 2015
This peripatetic farce practically propels itself.January 02, 2016
The 100 Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared is gleefully amoral, never more so than when ruminating on how families are formed.June 23, 2015
Superficially colorful, but a dark comedy at heart.May 21, 2015
Herngren's hyper-plotty story goes from testing credulity to utterly insulting it, as incident piles on to incident in an ever-escalating cascade of you-won't-believe-what-happens-nexts.June 26, 2015
There's a strange, almost perverse lesson here about a well-lived life, how Allan manages to move through life without regret or fear. He's crossed every item off his bucket list - and then blown up the bucket.May 28, 2015
It seems destined for a Hollywood remake, which is likely to be more polished but not nearly as weirdly charming.
