Critics have mixed feelings about '...All the Marbles.' On Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds a modest score, with many appreciating Peter Falk's standout performance. The New York Times remarked, 'Peter Falk brings a scrappy charm to his role, making Harry Sears a memorable character.' However, they noted that the film's pacing felt uneven at times. Variety praised the on-screen chemistry between the leads, stating, 'The dynamic between Falk, Frederick, and Landon is palpable and brings an unexpected emotional depth to the film.' IMDb users give the movie a rating of 6.4/10, reflecting a general appreciation for its unique take on the wrestling genre, though some viewers found the plot to be somewhat predictable. Metacritic scores also echo these sentiments, highlighting both the film's strengths in character portrayal and its occasional shortcomings in storytelling.
