I'm willing to bet ... that I don't see another [documentary] this year as richly entertaining or as cathartic.

Frank, hugely entertaining but hugely biased film.
12/13/02
A fascinating look at the topsy-turvy life of a high powered Hollywood producer that is far stranger than any work of fiction.
11/15/02
Brilliantly crafted documentary about Hollywood legend Robert Evans may not be the unvarnished truth, but it is great, glossy fun.

If you love flamboyant people, movies or -- especially -- flamboyant movie people, don't miss The Kid Stays in the Picture.
11/06/02
remarkable in the sense that, for all his self-aggrandizing tendencies, Evans conveys himself as both powerful and vulnerable, still a Hollywood myth of grand proportions, but also a human being

What works best is the candid nature of Evans' remarks , which often reveal more than Evans himself probably intended.

A self-narrated, blatantly lop-sided, cocky, nonchalant, fascinating and juicily entertaining documentary.

This movie is more fun than many of those tall tales that Hollywood calls feature films.

Its unbridled spirit and (especially) visual style shuttle us through the corridor of Evans' memories with sufficient force to leave us in a state of happy exhaustion.

Engrossing ... but ultimately felt more like a vanity project/tribute to the man than any kind of objective, well-rounded documentary.
09/12/02
...a rare unguarded glimpse of inside Hollywood in its most brazenly self-referential yet least guarded moments.
