Critic Reviews

Jami Bernard

The triumph here is the natural, fluid way the characters interact, many of them displaying real-life, quirky senses of humor you don't often find in screenplays. Read full review

Roger Ebert

A sweet and touching film, worth a visit. Read full review

Michael Wilmington

The kind of smart, realistic indie family drama the movies should give us more often, just as they should more often offer performances as full-blooded and rich as Aiello's and Curtin's here. Read full review

Lou Lumenick

Fails to dig out the dramatic meat, despite a yeoman performance by Danny Aiello. Read full review

Stephen Holden

An unusually pure example of American kitchen-sink realism. Read full review

Frank Scheck

Ultimately has the air of a home movie project blown up to feature-length proportions. Read full review

Connie Ogle
