Critic Reviews

Jesse Wigutow's screenplay is one of those marvels of economy, idiomatic facility and well-chosen detail that knows exactly when to cut away from a scene without grinding it into your face.Full Review

Stephen Holden
The New York Times

Schepisi not only inspired the cast to give well-shaded, reflective portrayals but also made the film a work of honest, heartfelt sentiment.Full Review

Kevin Thomas
Los Angeles Times

Uneasily pivots between comedy and drama, with its best parts strongly reminiscent of Schepisi's previous, British-made drama about aging and dying buddies, "Last Orders."Full Review

Robert Koehler
Variety

Much to my surprise and delight, the movie is nothing like its marketing.Full Review

Michael O'Sullivan
Washington Post

Father and son Kirk and Michael Douglas' moments together are among the movie's best.Full Review
