I loved this movie! Steve Zahn was great. He pulled off a tragic character that still had just the right amount of humor to make him lovable. If... re a mom (or probably even if you're not) you are going to cry!! Full Review

As a flawed but lovably lionhearted woman, Barrymore triumphantly comes of age as an actress.Full Review

Jay Carr
Boston Globe

A film like this is refreshing and startling in the way it cuts loose from formula and shows us confused lives we recognize.Full Review

Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times

It's Barrymore's most ambitious role to date. She proves she is maturing as an actress.Full Review

Claudia Puig
USA Today

As the movie jumps back and forth in time, it displays an impressive cut-and-paste agility, skillfully interweaving humor and drama without tipping over into farce or soap opera.Full Review

When Barrymore finally gets mean, the movie finally gets good. Then comes another sing-along, dammit.Full Review
