King of the Corner is not plot-driven. It's like life: just one damned thing after another
70
A warm, unexpectedly moving portrait of a man on the verge of what could either be a dreadful or delightful second chapter.
60
Warm and wise comedy of middle-age malaise.

Riegert and his cowriter, Gerald Shapiro, breathe some fresh air into the material with their credible characters.
50
King of the Corner has been adapted from Gerald Shapiro's "Bad Jews and Other Stories" and suffers from an odd, disjointed quality.
50
It's all pleasant but fairly unimportant, and then -- POW -- comes the great scene, almost out of nowhere.
38
But look up the word "slight" in the dictionary and you could find a still from this film.
