Sean Burns, reviewing "Body of Lies" in Philadelphia Weekly:
Like Alec Baldwin, Russell Crowe is way more fun to watch when he’s fat. Middle age and excess poundage have worked wonders for these fellows, liberating them from any leading man’s vanity of burning intensity, allowing for more playful and inventive performances.Good point, although I don't think Alec gained weight to play any particular role.
