Critic Reviews

Kline is one of the rare major actors not afraid to look like hell. And given his character's plight, his willingness to get physically unpleasant matches the emotion he brings to the part.Full Review

Mike Clark
USA Today

Works as a heart-warming, involving experience.Full Review

Kevin Thomas
Los Angeles Times

Because it is slick and classy and good to look at, and the actors are well within their range of competence, you can enjoy the movie on a made-for-TV level, but you wish it had been smarter and tougher.Full Review

Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times

It's a pleasant movie, written with care for the characters. But as the film's title suggests, scriptwriter Mark Andrus has made too obvious and clunky a metaphor of George's house.Full Review

Desson Thomson
Washington Post

This one is nearly as bad as it gets, suggesting that all the wrong people were wielding the sledgehammers here.Full Review
