Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
There's a touch of magic at play here but it is of the understated variety, delivering a finale that is unexpectedly hopeful, moving and emotionally satisfying.
– Bruce Demara,

fresh:
[A] funny and moving drama about the mysteries of the grave.
– J. R. Jones,
Chicago Reader,
15 May 2009
rotten:
The bravura acting is unsupported by a script that's content to settle for the dramatic equivalent of English comfort food, with moments of pathos and whimsy doled out like spoonfuls of dough and treacle.

Globe and Mail,

fresh:
Michael Caine raises this odd-couple comedy to highly agreeable levels.
– Michael Rechtshaffen,
Hollywood Reporter,

rotten:
Profoundly (and some would say pleasurably) formulaic, the film possesses scant cinematic energy, relying wholly on the familiar transformation of a grumpy old man into an infectiously weepy humanist.
