...Refreshingly realistic and likeable....[The film] has a modesty and charm along the lines of DINER and BREAKING AWAY...
Variety
Professionally made, quite entertaining, and disappointingly hollow.

The performances compensate, with Dillon turning in a light and touching portrait of confused ambitions.

Winning comedy about a have-not among the haves.

Rating: 79/100 --
The Flamingo Kid is one of those rare films that follows a traditional method of coming-of-age storytelling and then shakes it up by not dealing us mere caricatures and stereotypes.
Apollo Guide
The movie has an engaging surface, but it's all surface -- it's like watching an outsize TV.

Even if The Flamingo Kid comes out of sit-com country, the character and the performance effortlessly rise above their origins.
