Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
It isn't good enough, it isn't smart enough, and, doggone it, most people won't like Stuart Saves His Family.
– Joe Leydon,
Variety,
14 May 2008
fresh:
Even if you find Franken hard to bear, as I do, the movie's take on how he functions in the world is both authoritative and compelling, and the movie steadily grows in stature.
– Jonathan Rosenbaum,
Chicago Reader,
14 May 2008
rotten:
The plotting is surprisingly banal, involving even talk of a property easement and turning Stuart into the executor of a relative's estate. And the relatives' problems are taken semi-seriously, which is more than this lightweight film can handle.
– Janet Maslin,
New York Times,
20 May 2003
rotten:
It was much funnier when we didn't see Stuart's family. And, if we have to see them, it would have been much funnier if they were strait-laced '50s sitcom types.
– Peter Rainer,
Los Angeles Times,
13 Feb 2001
rotten:
All in all, it's a misfire -- but a misfire that's more interesting than a lot of successes.
– Mick LaSalle,
San Francisco Chronicle,
