Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
It's fresh, funny, biting, fast-paced and reasonably perceptive about people and their problems.

rotten:
It would seem that wherever there are middle-class, midlife crises to be suffered, there are movies to be made about those crises, and they somehow all manage to transcend their local trappings in favour of a kind of borderless emotional banality.

What starts off as a possible Argentine American Beauty reeks like a room stacked with pungent flowers.

Like any good romance, Son of the Bride, proves it's never too late to learn.
