Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
Foster's second directorial effort is a vividly drawn if too episodic portrait of an eccentric family, well acted by the entire cast, especially Holly Hunter and Robery Downey Jr.

rotten:
Spirited but uneven.

fresh:
Neither caustic nor sentimental, it's a film that maybe half the people on Earth have at one time considered writing.

rotten:
Foster keeps the party hopping, although more dark humor would have helped before she winds it down with sentiment and bromides.
– Peter Travers,

rotten:
Foster and Richter, of course, want to do more than make audiences laugh; they want us to be touched by their characters' humanity and take an interest in a budding romance, but that rarely is the case.
