Avoids easy shtick and saccharine conclusions, opting instead for character dynamics that the two leads deliver with consummate skill.Read the full review
Chicago Sun-Times | Roger EbertAdd Critic to Favorites
The movie is sort of a sideways version of "Sideways," even down to a scene where the two men join two women for dinner. The difference is, in "Sideways" the guys desperately want to impress the women, and in The Thing About My Folks, they want to impress each other.Read the full review

Good-natured but only memorable as a platform for the amusingly feisty Peter Falk, The Thing About My Folks plies a light approach to the problems grown children face when their parents appear on the verge of divorce.Read the full review
