Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
The actors are all good and a few scenes -- an opening family argument, a crucial battle when Michael finally fights back -- are painfully moving.
– Stephen Whitty,
Newark Star-Ledger,
14 Oct 2011
rotten:
A dispiriting rehash of dysfunctional family cliches that seems to last longer than Thanksgiving Day dinner.
– Lou Lumenick,
New York Post,
14 Oct 2011
rotten:
A dreadful exercise in navel-gazing that resides in a particularly trite corner of Pat Conroy-ville.
– Joe Neumaier,
New York Daily News,
14 Oct 2011
rotten:
The emotional effectiveness varies from moment to moment between not pushing too hard or simply not pulling hard enough.
– William Goss,

rotten:
This histrionic family drama must have looked good on paper to attract such a big-name cast, but on the screen it comes off as glib, rushed, and underdeveloped.
