rotten:
Stewart lets it all hang out in a firecracker role but her damaged character never achieves the depth the weak material could have done with.

"Welcome to the Rileys" sets out to be a study of grief and how to overcome it, but it rings too false to offer much hope - or entertainment.

It's as if Tony Soprano and Bella Swan had landed the two leads in somebody's amateur theater company, and this is what the lucky audience gets.
