- 88RogerEbert.comOdie HendersonRogerEbert.comOdie HendersonThat Guy Dick Miller is the perfect title for Elijah Drenner’s wildly entertaining documentary chronicling the 50-plus years of Miller’s career.
- 75Slant MagazineChuck BowenSlant MagazineChuck BowenA fawning tribute to the cult legend, enriched by a subtle current of sadness that prevents the documentary from turning into a glorified DVD supplement.
- 60Los Angeles TimesMichael RechtshaffenLos Angeles TimesMichael RechtshaffenWhile the end result feels a tad overstuffed at 92 minutes, it's entirely understandable if, after more than half a century of being identified as "that guy," Miller's in no hurry to relinquish the spotlight.
- 60Village VoiceAlan ScherstuhlVillage VoiceAlan ScherstuhlThat Guy Dick Miller is a cheery and likable film, one that bops along the surface of its story with lots of interviews, too-quick film clips, and spazzy-quirky-tootling music meant to let us know how fun all this is.
- 60The New York TimesNicolas RapoldThe New York TimesNicolas RapoldThe survey, pockmarked with sometimes dopey animations and music, feels scattered and less than the sum of Mr. Miller’s many parts. But it has its heart in the right movie-mad place.
- 50The DissolveNoel MurrayThe DissolveNoel MurrayDrenner’s overall approach here is too limiting for a character sketch—which may be why That Guy Dick Miller frequently veers off-topic.
