This movie was great. I felt bad about the young kids fatal swimming accident. I really felt for the mother up until she made a move on Morris... nut. It was really encouraging to see him turn down her advances though. I have to say that it is refreshing to see a movie without any nudity. This is one the whole family can enjoy. Full Review

Laughter through tears is director Bill Duke's M.O., and he hits the bull's-eye of that modest target.Full Review

For most of Not Easily Broken, I wondered why the movie wasn't worse. Then I remembered it was directed by the veteran Bill Duke, who applies ample TLC.Full Review

Unfortunately, for those who do not subscribe to the notion that God's dust smooths a marriage's rough patches, but rather hard work by people do, the message rings hollow.Full Review

San Francisco Chronicle

Mr. Duke's filmmaking is functional at best, and the extreme shifts in emotional tone -- especially a late and disastrous swerve into tragedy -- are handled clumsily in Brian Bird's script. Yet Not Easily Broken is not easily dismissed. For one thing, the cast is excellent, and for another, its intentions are serious and generous.Full Review

The movie may be preaching to the choir -- and every inch of it feels like a sermon -- but it's a pretty decent homily, heartfelt and strongly delivered by a committed cast.Full Review
