It's not exactly distinguished, but pleasantly warm-hearted, and the sort of thing you might enjoy on afternoon TV when laid up with the flu.
Trevor Johnston, Time Out

The most surprisingly satisfying Hollywood comedy in ages.
Matt Singer, Village Voice

It may not be much -- it's a remake of a 1950 Alec Guinness film -- but it is as bright as a Christmas bauble.
Peter Howell, Toronto Star

In its corny, cartoonish way, it even suggests a generosity of spirit that's faithful to the 1950 original.
John Hartl, Seattle Times
