Dr. Don Shirley is a world-class African-American pianist who's about to embark on a concert tour in the Deep South in 1962. In need of a driver and protection, Shirley recruits Tony Lip, a tough-talking bouncer from an Italian-American neighborhood in the Bronx. Despite their differences, the two men soon develop an unexpected bond while confronting racism and danger in an era of segregation.

Peter Farrelly's film is far more endearing, precise, and tricky than its conventional racial scenario leads one to expect.

This is an expertly-acted, perfectly telegraphed message movie that knows the buttons it's pushing, and pushes them all, right on cue. This is not a knock against it, it's a compliment.

A heartfelt ode to the bond between two real-life men.

Green Book is effective and affecting while being careful to avoid overdosing its audience on material that some might deem too shocking or upsetting.

You watch "Green Book" wishing it were a little better but nonetheless enjoying how very good much of it is, thanks to Mortensen and Ali, who make every moment sing.

It seems this old-timey salve remains effective with audiences and among the critical set, despite talk of an assumed progressive cultural shift.

Farrelly's pacing is impressive, turning in a whopping 130-minute movie that simply flies by, and never feels too heavy or too long, and never outstays its welcome.

Viggo Mortensen was fantastic...I felt like I was looking at a different guy.

Initially, the film seems doomed to be an annoying Driving Miss Daisy spin on The Odd Couple. But the stars are far too good for that...

Green Book is the one film you'll be cheering for at this year's Oscars. Mortensen and Ali are a terrific team.

A well-meaning but glib and shallow ode to interracial healing.

The acting is better than the dialogue, which is better than the plotting. And I have to confess that in the current, insanely divisive political climate, I enjoyed Green Book's spoon-feeding mightily.
