Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
Sherwood Kiraly's slight script only makes this embarrassment of riches seem more embarrassing.

fresh:
Alda's Hawkeye Pierce charm gives way to something snappish and cagey, while Broderick's fussy stiffness is perfect.

rotten:
Didn't we invent film festivals so we could sequester all the star-studded 'how I spent my summer vacation' indie film projects and keep them out of our arthouses?

rotten:
The actors look as if they're having a reasonably fine time, but there's no sense of commitment here, no sense that this was a movie that absolutely, passionately had to be made.

rotten:
A mild pleasure from one end to the other, but not much more.
