Roger Moore
Its Blacks movie, and his polished stage mugging is used to great effect, just as his general likability will have you rooting for this not quite victimless crime and the open hearted, if devious, criminal behind it. ( Read More )
Betty Jo Tucker
Although disappointed with The Polka King, I appreciate the way the film depicts how Jan Lewans positive attitude influenced people who unwisely invested their money with him. ( Read More )
Brian Orndorf
Tremendously funny, even while it examines a frightfully corrupt human being. ( Read More )
Ben Sachs
The Polka King is warm and sympathetic, avoiding easy jokes in favor of humane, character driven humor. ( Read More )
Tara Brady
