Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
It's not meant to be uproarious. But even as comfort food, Steins can't keep up.
By the time the Fiedlers are getting serious about their arguments and their hugs, we've grown to like them.
A winningly sincere and warmly humorous film about an ancient Jewish milestone in the time of Martha Stewart.
It's not the kind of comedy that makes you laugh till your face hurts, but it'll give your smile muscles a good workout.
