Three of Hollywood's most beautiful and talented actresses, Ryan, Keaton, and Kudrow, are totally wasted in this shamelessly sappy meller that bears the schmaltzy sensibility of Nora Ephorn, its inept producer and co-scripter even though Keaton is helmer

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Too phony to be anything truly heartfelt.
Like people who compulsively giggle whenever they tell you bad news, the movie runs for cover in lame, comic shtick.
Ten minutes into it, you're making low moans. Fifteen minutes into it, you have plucked out all of your hair. Gone! You're bald, you're unhappy, and the movie's only just begun.
The script flips from hack sentimentality to sitcom shtick with predictable rhythms.
