Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Williams, who has comparatively little screen time, has come to act, not to cut comic riffs, and he does so with forceful, ultimately compelling, simplicity.
– Richard Schickel,
TIME Magazine,
24 Aug 2010
fresh:
Story sings whenever Williams is onscreen. Screen belongs just as often to Leonard, who as Neil has a quality of darting confidence mixed with hesitancy. Hawke, as the painfully shy Todd, gives a haunting performance.
– Variety Staff,

rotten:
The moral divisions set up between characters are childishly overdrawn; and, worst of all, the behavior shown by the boys and adults frequently reeks of falsity and contrivance.
– Jonathan Rosenbaum,
Chicago Reader,
18 Jul 2007
rotten:
The movie undercuts Mr. Williams's exceptionally fine performance, making the character seem more of a dubious fool than is probably intended.
– Vincent Canby,
New York Times,
20 May 2003
fresh:
It's a literate though strained uplifter, a not altogether compatible coupleting of Rocky Balboa and the Bard.
– Rita Kempley,
Washington Post,
