Alternately flat and overwrought.
A.O. Scott, At the Movies

To anyone who has ever sparked up a TV set, let alone entered a movie theatre, all this is perfectly evident in the first five minutes.

Jeannette Catsoulis, New York Times
Fresh
[A] slick, slapsticky, forgettable comedy, a cool-jazz riff on upper-middle-class American families sorting through misconceptions.
Amy Biancolli, Houston Chronicle
