Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Cox makes his reanimation a believable, joyful change of heart, rather than a labored bit of plot manipulation. He seems ennobled, not merely sentimentalized.
– Colin Covert,
Minneapolis Star Tribune,
6 May 2010
rotten:
It's a strange thing, this type of whimsy. Kari offers us ideas in place of characters, and yet he expects us to see through these ideas to the real-life conditions they represent -- and then to respond to them in kind.
– Mick LaSalle,
San Francisco Chronicle,
7 May 2010
rotten:
This odd couple never moves beyond oddness and the lower-depths shenanigans grate.
– Peter Rainer,
Christian Science Monitor,
7 May 2010
rotten:
Cox doesn't so much chew the scenery as inhale it. Dano looks on in awe. Who can blame him? For that matter, who can blame Cox?
– Mark Feeney,
Boston Globe,
13 May 2010
rotten:
The movie's two bright spots are Cox and Dano, who perform excellently despite the dull inevitabilities the script forces on them.
