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

Winning comedy about a have-not among the haves.

...Ebullient, unsentimental....By far the best -- and funniest -- work yet done by [Dillon, and by Marshall]...
New York Times
Rating: 5/5 --
As coming-of-age stories go, this one is an underrated treasure with Dillon and Crenna doing fantastic work.

The Sixties setting seems a shade gratuitous and its attitude to easy money is ambiguous, but the characters are well drawn and the story is sensitively handled.

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
Dillon does a good job in his fullest, least narcissistic characterization to date.
