What little plot "Lay the Favorite" has is lost in a mess of a screenplay that does absolutely nothing to stand out in any way whatsoever.
December 06, 2012
A listless comedy built around a vivacious protagonist.
December 06, 2012
Best to say as little as possible, cut one's losses and move on.
December 07, 2012
This shaggy-dog story based on the improbable real-life adventures of exotic dancer-turned-bookie-turned-journalist Beth Raymer is never quite as amusing as it thinks it is, despite a charming performance by Rebecca Hall.
December 10, 2012
... offers little insight into its subject or its setting and feels like it's been chopped up in the editing room.
March 08, 2013
A shrug of a film featuring unremarkable characters in an unremarkable story that never does more than limp toward it flat and flimsy third act.
December 07, 2012
"Lay the Favorite" is a small and not particularly ambitious movie, but it's pleasing and exceptionally well made.
December 07, 2012
Poor Rebecca Hall. If someone had told her there was no hope for Lay the Favorite, she could have saved some energy.

What has happened to director Stephen Frears?
December 06, 2012
The dots are there, but they don't connect.
December 07, 2012
Frears has a lot of fun with the bad tempers and high spirits of this crew of adrenaline junkies, and though the story falls a little flat, the script is sprinkled with dry wit.

While everything seems to be going in its favor, Lay The Favorite is a losing bet.
