Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
The sometimes strained efforts at quirky humour and the more melodramatic moments in the later scenes can feel like they belong in different movies altogether.
The filmmaker's overreliance on oddball characterizations and easy-bake kookiness often derails her seemingly loftier intentions.
