Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
There's no character in the group who doesn't ooze good-natured charm.

fresh:
Seidelman maintains the narrow path between ridicule and dignity in a movie that dishes out humour even-handedly, but spares the characters total humiliation.

rotten:
Replaces one set of cliches with another, and does what all lame comedies do to young and old alike: It robs them of their humanity and makes them cute.

rotten:
Unsatisfying comedy-drama, which features a cheesy golden-oldies soundtrack that feels even more packaged than the dialogue.

rotten:
More a series of anecdotes than an insightful dramedy and relies too much on absurd coincidences and needless sitcom-style lying.
