Critic Reviews

Branagh shows us the comedy of a man who is too clever to understand that in the guise of dreading fatherhood, he is really at war with how much he longs for it.Full Review

Owen Gleiberman
Entertainment Weekly

That's a lot just to justify a cute title, but cuteness is the engine driving the slight, obvious but occasionally very funny film.Full Review

Jack Mathews
New York Daily News

Reminds us that when it comes to comedy, it's all in the writing. Mr. Kalesniko's satirically barbed screenplay, whose spirit harks back to the comic heyday of Blake Edwards, stirs up an insistent verbal energy that rarely flags.Full Review

Stephen Holden
The New York Times

While the direction is a little anonymous and could use some verve, the comedy-drama gets by thanks to a solid script, witty dialogue and engaging performances.Full Review

David Rooney
Variety

Gets most of the big things wrong and almost all the little things right. For two-thirds of its running time, it's a nasty little delight with an amusing and curmudgeonly central character.Full Review
