Movers & Shakers was met with overwhelmingly negative reviews from critics and performed poorly at the box office. It is widely considered one of the least successful films of Walter Matthau's career, criticized for its crude humor and nonsensical plot.

• The film relies too heavily on predictable and unfunny gags.

• The premise is ludicrous and the execution is even worse.

• A significant misstep for its talented cast.

Google audience: Audience reviews are scarce, but what little information is available suggests a strong dislike for the film, citing its lack of humor and a weak storyline.
