The Crew is a 2000 American black comedy crime film directed by Michael Dinner, and starring Burt Reynolds, Seymour Cassel, Richard Dreyfuss, Dan Hedaya, Carrie-Anne Moss, Jeremy Piven and Jennifer Tilly.

Bobby has been paying a private detective to find his daughter, Olivia, whom he hasn't seen since she was a child, but the others spend their shares of the windfall recklessly.

This results in a confrontation at the apartment, leading to the capture of Mouth, Ferris, Pepper, and Detectives Neal and Menteer, the police officers who have been investigating the original "murder."

[3] Roger Ebert criticized the film for having an unbelievable premise with "desperate" slapstick and aggression, and characters that lack chemistry and individualism compared to the "heft and dimension" the main cast of Space Cowboys had, saying that "The Crew unfolds as a construction, not a series of surprises and delights.

"[4] A. O. Scott of The New York Times commended Dreyfuss and Hedaya for their performances and Fanaro's script for having an "inspired set piece" and "pretty funny" jabs at "ethnic stereotypes", but wrote that: "The Crew is cobbled together in desperate obedience to the widespread Hollywood fallacy that the more plot a movie has, the more people will like it.

"[5] Entertainment Weekly's Lisa Schwarzbaum gave the film a D grade, highlighting the script's "stereotyping" of its main leads, saying that "each man's shtick swells into a frenzy of overacting in the name of aging that should have died with The Golden Girls.
