Reviews:
“Average 21 is a perfect example of how something that's 'based' on a true story can nevertheless exist mainly in the realm of fiction.” Berardinelli, Internet Critic
“Average The film is as slick and slight as a deck of cards.” USA Today
“Above Average But the end result is still utterly predictable, thoroughly disposable and less true than truthy.” TV Guide Online
“Average Given the potential to be anything it wants, '21' becomes just another post-Rat Pack exercise in robotic Vegas cool.” Newsday
