Chicago ReaderLisa Alspector
The acting--especially Dreyfuss's ability to roll with the mood swings--is impressive if not redemptive. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesJohn Anderson
So mild, so benign, its humiliation-to-vindication are so predictable and its old-folks jokes so feeble. Read full review

The "Golden Girls" with gats.

Drowns in flat, clumsy and obvious direction.

Much better than you'd expect, largely thanks to an extremely game cast. Read full review

Often livens up stale material with disarming loopiness and zest.

The sentimentality is gently but firmly restrained in a potentially treacly subplot. Read full review
