Reaction: Leonardo DiCaprio is one of the few A-List stars left in Hollywood who can open a big budget drama and catapult it to a hit at the box office on a consistent basis, Calamity is just the latest example.

"The role of Stan/Fritz is type of role every actor dreams about playing. Leonardo DiCaprio gets to run the gamut of emotions in this tour de force performance." - Dave Cone, New York Post

"Calamity is an impressive story filled with strong performances from a group of terrifically talented actors. While DiCaprio gets the bulk of the screen time, every actor gets at least one scene to show off in." - Roger Taggart, Chicago Tribune

 "Spike Jonze, while a good director, doesn't seem like the strongest choice for this material. The acting and writing are both top notch, but with Jonze at the helm the tone just never quite fits as his trademark quirky touches don't find a home in this story. While Calamity is by no means a bad film (it is perfectly serviceable), it should have been a great film rather than just good." - Jeff Stockton, The Roundup
