We're No Angels
"De Niro and Penn...Terrific Together."-Roger Ebert, Siskel & Ebert
There's something funny about those two new priests. In fact, there's something downright hilarious. Because Robert De Niro and Sean Penn aren't clergymen at all. They're escaped cons whose only prayer is to pass themselves off as men of the cloth... and pass right by a police blockade at the border and into the safety of Canada. Demi Moore joins De Niro and Penn in this clever romp scripted by David Mamet. The cons are loose and the comedy is on. It'll be a sin to miss it!

We're No Angels - TheWiz
As quirky as the Bogart/Ustinov/Ray version from 1955, this film features the talents of Robert DeNiro and Sean Penn. In an excellent screen play by David Mamet, these two jail birds are acted to perfection. Two opportunists who improvise their actions according to each situation presented to them makes for some hilarious moments. With opposing charachters and different values, they search for a way to freedom. Look for great supporting roles by Demi Moore, Hoyt Axton, Bruno Kirby and John C Reilly.Bore of a comedy that misses on all levels - CanCinephile
We’re No Angels is a real bore of a comedy that misses on all levels. The writing, direction, and performances miss the beat considerably. As a comedy, it’s bland. As a drama, it’s incredibly tepid and ineffectual. And as a film in general, it’s just rather poor. Avoid this one. See the funnier and more entertaining 1990 film Nuns on the Run, starring Eric Idle and Robbie Coltrane, instead of We’re No Angels.watch it - moviewatcher281
i was forced into watching in, but 5 min into the movie i began to really enjoy. It isn't a typical comedy with stupid jokes, it comedy but comedy of life. Almost like it could actually happen. Both sean penn and robert deniro put on a great performance. I think it is a movie for everyone but espessially for people who don't usually like comedy.
