Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Delivers a screen version of Mr. Potts's life with straightforward crowd-pleasing instincts and more than a dollop of schmaltz.

rotten:
David Frankel's film reduces an extraordinary life to a predictable template of bullying, resolve, success, disappointment, and platitudes - a pattern repeated two or three times until the genuinely moving finale.

fresh:
Feel-good stories feel good for a reason, and this one is practically operatic.

The ho-hum story is hardly what you'd call grand opera.
